Review on Olympus MSC ED M. 60mm f/2.8 Lens - Global Edition (Limited Warranty) by Bong Cha ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

As compared to the Olympus 45mm 1.8, I found the macro focus to be too slow to be useful as a portrait lens (even if you set the limiter to the longest distance). Other from that, it's a wonderful workhorse and my go-to lens. Someone mentioned vignetting as a downside; in most cases, Lightroom or Camera RAW can fix vignetting by doing a "one-two" correction. In addition to the previously established "on time" default.

Pros
  • Very high-quality, crisp macro lens. A sleeve that keeps out dust and rain
Cons
  • I don't think this is a major problem because it's not simple to get a polarizer, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There is no hood provided, but I will not be using it for my intended purpose (food photography) anyhow.
