Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 60mm f/2.8 ED Macro
Optical design
Thanks to the macro capabilities this lens can make tiny things look big. Has 7 aperture blades, mid-grade lenses usually have this amount of blades. Having rounded blades provides out of focus circle shape closer to a circle. Bright lens thanks to the high aperture valuePhysical characteristics
Weights 185 grams so convinient to carry. 82 mm long, requires consideration if you want to carry in the camera bag. With a lens filter diameter of 46 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options.Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 60mm f/2.8 ED Macro purchase historyStable

Tack Sharp Macro With a focal length comparable to 120mm, this lens produces crisp, sharp details at comfortable macro working distances. It provides a fairly rapid focus when set within the correct range and produces decent images at greater distances as well. It's basically a "two-fer" in that it is the perfect macro while also an f/2.8 moderate telephoto. The body is a high quality polymer or plastic material for light weight and it seems very durable. As a sealed, internal-focusing lens, it has the o-ring mount so is a little stiffer to install, though easy to grip, and remains a constant length during use. What a beauty - this is a lens is a keeper!
I love this lens! Yet another excellent quality Olympus Micro 4/3 lens. Putting it into macro mode is perhaps a bit un-intuitive at first, but there are videos online that explain everything you need to know. I posted some of my very first macro images taken with this camera and the response was great. Sometimes in macro mode when I am shooting something that is relatively small in the frame the AF hunts and will choose the wrong focus point. But I find that if I put my fingers in the same plane as I'm trying to focus on and close to it, and focus on my fingers, then I can get the subject more in focus and then just moving over to focus on my subject AF works fine. The focusing ring is smooth and nice to use. All in all, this is a great lens and has quickly become one of my favorites among my excellent Olympus and Panasonic primes. I would highly recommend it, especially to everyone who is interested in macro photography.Read full review
Having Fun This is listed not as a "Pro" lens, but it produces excellent quality images since it is a prime lens. The 120mm equivalent length is a good choice by Olympus. I am not using it professionally but as a hobby, but wanting the best images. The lens has made macro simpler, and the focusing switch makes it easy to get a clean shot. I also have added diopter filters to the front of this lens with very good results.
