I’ve done better with out a macro lens
With the Bokeh, you can definitely tell the difference. Shoot the 40-150 f/2.8 at 60mm and the 60mm Macro side by side where you can create some bokeh balls. You will notice, depending how close you are to the subject, the macro lens will look more octagon. I love the looks of it.
I like my 60mm, not just for macro. OM brought out a firmware update this week for the 90mm Macro lens...catch up Brian 🙂
Nice analysis. Macro photography is challenging. I thought you (or I) got a little lost on the 1:1 and 2:1 comparison with full frame. With 1:1 in full frame, you can shoot life size with a subject 36 mm wide.Of course, with MF43, at 1:1, that subject will not fit in the frame. By the same token, at 1:1, a subject 18 mm wide will be life size but will not fill a full frame sensor, while at 1:1 it will fill the frame of a MF43 sensor.
Funny, I thought you where using a different lens, since you have the lens hood reversed on it. Mine also did not come with a lens hood, and they should 1euro. I use mine for photographing jewelry for sale on ebay mostly. Thanks.
I picked one up for $250 2nd hand
I have a JJC hood. It snaps on and is secure, but you can't slide it back along the body like the Olympus hood.
I was using my 60mm yesterday at the Botanic Gardens. Perfect for that! I also took my hardly used 25mm and 17mm f1.8 (l’ve had them for several years) and was actually surprised how good they were! I think the cheapness of those two lenses, and the 45mm, put me off them! The 17mm was perfect for taking tree canopies and getting under ferns. And talk about sharp!!!! One or two of them will now accompany me in the future. The 60mm is great for shooting bees! And you can add macro filters to it as well. Don’t have a lens hood, should look for one. Interestingly, I had these on my new EM1Mk3, and they seemed to be better than on my EM5Mk3! Sensor difference??? Thanks for this video, Brian, great images!
Good info as always. Lots of detail that one does not find in the "instruction manual" or elsewhere. Just got one today and now I'm doing the research on it. A cousin has one and really likes it, so it was not a big gamble. I have found that it won't focus on a blank wall, but if I get a light switch or other break in the wall, no problem.
It's a fantastik lens. And with the Olympus STF-8 you can do everything! You can direct the light where you want, and the strenght of it, so you can decide how dark the shadows will be. And where you want them to be.
Thank you so much for explaining, the lens. I just acquired it today and was driving me crazy.
What a really great little presentation. I really learned a lot & enjoyed the presentation style.
Best explanation of this lens I've seen--thank you!
Great video mate. as usual. I'm waiting for mine to be delivered tomorrow to use with my GH5mii, can't wait. thank you
My favourite lens! I've had my Oly 60mm f2.8 macro for a few years. I've never felt the need for a lens hood. I haven't had lens flare.
Very good review,got the same lens . Love it, thanks a lot 😊
I love this lens. It really is a brilliant little lens. I have the Olympus macro flash, which combined with this lens is just wonderful for insects and flower
I use my lens as a more than i care to admit. I am pleased your review mirrors my experience.
Thank you for the nice video! I own this lens for one week and it is realy fantastic. The construction is more then 10 years old. Still it is one of the best macro lens in the market.
Thanks!
