📷 M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm F2.8 Macro Lens for Micro Four Thirds Cameras by OLYMPUS Review

Different pros: My first impressions: light, comfortable, very sharp, good color reproduction. In a month I will try to publish more detailed impressions. Some cons: Not that it would not justify, but surprised - why does the hood need to be purchased separately?

I use this with my Olympus OM-D E-M10 camera. I was able to take sharp photos of objects like snowflakes with this lens, and the portrait photos blew me away. The photos are so good! For macro shots, I hold the camera in my hand and add light to speed up the shutter speed and avoid blur. Focusing in macro photography requires some patience. I set the lens to 1:1 and gradually move away from the subject until it comes into focus. Image quality for macro and portraits seems to be as good as my…

i deduct one star because it doesn't have a lens hood, the manual focus feel isn't that great and the focal length is longer than my ideal lens is very well built, extremely sharp and relatively easy to use; it works well as a short telephoto lens, focuses quickly but (like all autofocus macros) can hunt; the range limiter switch helps and is better than the range limiters in other macros I've used; How manual focus works is the most important consideration for true macro photography and this…

I bought this lens for my OMD-10 five months ago but have only recently started using it. This lens turned me into a macro enthusiast, although I'm still learning. I haven't taken it off my camera yet, and the only other lens I'll eventually buy is the 75-300 for telephoto. I have criticism that Olympus does not provide a user manual, although you can buy one. And there is no hood in the kit, so you need to buy again. My other disappointment is that I bought a camera, two kit lenses and then…

This review is for the 60mm macro lens because it can be used quite narrowly and specifically: for shooting insects, amphibians, reptiles, mushrooms and other small objects, the it can be held with hands on the field. For this purpose I find the lens to be an excellent choice and great value for money. Macro photography in the field is very different from bringing animals indoors and photographing them in a lightbox. I'm not too attached to the specs - it's the results that count - and I have…

As a portrait lens, this lens did not seem convenient to me, I compare it with the Olympus 45mm 1.8: the macro focuses more slowly (even if you set the limiter to the longest distance). Otherwise, a great workhorse - the most used lens in my arsenal. Someone wrote about vignetting here as a drawback - in general, vignetting "one-two" is corrected in Lightroom / Camera RAW. And with the saved preset in general "on time".

I bought it last summer before the expedition solely for the sake of compactness - I didn’t want to drag a large Canon with me just for the sake of macro photography. I was very pleasantly surprised by the results: the combination of Olympus E-M10 and Olympus 60 / 2.8 allowed us to get much better results than the Canon 5DM3 + Canon 100 / 2.8L Macro, while being 4 times smaller and 3 times cheaper. Upon returning to the city, Canon sold the macro, now I shoot macro only on Olympus - no…
