Macro photography is a separate multifaceted world of photography that allows you to look at everyday things from a different angle and see the smallest details on the subject. The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens is perfect for macro tasks.

A high resolution

Distinctive features of the model are high rates of sharpness and microcontrast. Already wide open at f/2.8, the lens demonstrates excellent resolution in the centre of the frame, peaking at apertures of f/5.6-8. Optics have minimal geometric distortion and high resistance to backlight, especially with a sliding lens hood, which will need to be purchased separately.

macro component

The macro specialization of the lens is given out by an informative scale of distances and their corresponding magnifications, as well as a convenient focus distance limiter. In the very first position, it provides focus at a minimum distance with a magnification of 1:1. In addition, the photographer has access to a macro range of 19-40 cm and two versions of the full range: from 19 cm to infinity and from 40 cm to infinity. The latter is great for subject and portrait shooting.

Out of bounds

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f/2.8 Macro produces soft and beautiful bokeh as long as the subject and background are evenly lit. The dew drops illuminated by the sun turn into contrasting highlights, which not everyone will like. The lens is suitable for shooting all kinds of life-size insects, and for portrait photography, and even for landscapes — in combination with 120 mm EGF and f / 2.8 aperture, you definitely don’t need to drive yourself into macro photography alone.
