Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60 mm F2.8 Lens, Standard Zoom, Suitable for All MFT Cameras (Olympus OM-D & PEN Models, Panasonic G-Series), Black

Product Information

Hello, I have old 4/3 50mm f2 macro lens, incredible sharp and I am, after reading this article, in big dillema. After you’ve practiced with inanimates and figured out what works for you, you can put your new skills to the test.

macro lens with me throughout the rest of my weekend and I shot anything that I thought would look good through the 60mm lens perspective! I only save the combined jpeg and immediately delete everything else when I start my process in post.By heading out on expeditions before the sun comes up, you can unlock the ability of photographing tricky groups such as flies, butterflies, moths, dragonflies, and damselflies without much chasing. A lens of this length on a MFT body does feel a bit awkward, but handling characteristics aren’t bad especially if your camera has a decent grip.

And if it did I probably wouldn’t have bought the lens anyway… see the size/handling difference between the 9-18 vs 7-14. But I am sure it works great for tight head and shoulder shots (or even half body shots, if standing back a couple of steps is doable). Besides the focusing ring, the other main feature of the lens is a dial that allows you to set the distance range that the lens will use when attempting to lock focus.Low angles can show off alien-like mouth parts and high angles can show off complex compound eyes or antennae.

Usually, I don’t use the full power of the lens because 1:1 magnification is often overkill for my subjects. If your main focus is macro, then I couldn’t think of a better combination than micro four thirds and the Olympus 60mm to take out and about in the world. My use of full frame gear for macro photography was so infrequent that I don’t have any images remaining in my archives that I can share in this article. Since they don’t move, your stress level should stay reasonably low, but the experience helps you to build transferable techniques that can be applied with live subjects in the future.We've been using a full production version of this 120 fps sports camera, to see what you gain (and, perhaps, lose). However, before concluding anything like that, you should try shooting a brightly lit stationary subject at f/5. would fulfil most of my everyday needs, not only for macro photography but for portraiture and even certain types of landscape photography as well.

The 60mm is a macro lens with a full magnification of 1:1 (that’s the magnification I shoot at 90% of the time). It also achieves beautiful circular defocusing, ideal for concentrating on the subject, no matter how small. This lens is splash- and dustproof, so you can take it outside during bad weather and get the shots you need.The Olympus doesn’t offer optical image stabilization, which isn’t a problem if you’re using an Olympus body like the OM-D. In regard to the optical design, extra-low dispersion and high refractive index glasses are used to control a variety of aberrations and a ZERO coating has applied to suppress flare and ghosting to improve contrast and colour accuracy. AF isn’t quite as fast as it’s 12mm and 45mm siblings, but it is still quick enough for everyday use. Late payment and early repayment penalties apply; full details of these will be provided in the loan agreement pack. I start by carefully moving any vegetation that’s directly blocking my way and begin to visualize my composition.
