This is a follow-up from my first attempt. See the link for more samples- http://orislight.blogspot.sg/2013/03/olympus-60mm-f28-macro.html
Here are the Pro and Cons I feel. I have used a Canon 180mm f2.8 and Tamron 90mm F2.5 before therefore my judgement is based on my own experience.
Pros
- Very Light and small ( the Canon 180mm is not easy to use as a handheld lens)
- Relative bright F2.8 (for macro, we need to stop to f8-f11)
- Sharp
- Have 5 axis image stabiliser on my OM-D
- 3 focus distance to choose from (can be a con as I prefer those with fixed switch rather than the turning deisgn)
- with 3 focus distance, it seems to be 3-1 lens (marco, landscape, potraits)
- Weather seal with OM-D
- Good Bokeh. (smooth out-of focus )
- Fast focus (Do not expect it to be faster than 45mm f1.8) Due to the long focus distance due to it is a macro lens.
- Having a filter size 46mm diameter , it is now same as my 14mmf2.5 and 20mm f1.7. Can share filters.
Cons
- The 3-focus distances, when I swtich to 1:1, once I refocus other place, it will automatic go back to 1:4. Have to re-switch when I need close focus. Maybe there is a trick to solve it.
- Plastic body (but the finish is great)
- WHen this lens is used on a Panasonic m4/3 camera, there is no Image stabiliser.
This lens will be a hit due to the price and quality of image.
Here are some more samples.
