Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f2.8 Macro: For super-sharp outdoor close-ups and video
By Janice Chen - Wednesday, January 30, 2013 Lens Review| Introduction | Measurement | Comparison | Conclusion |
With strong performance across most of the DxOMark tests and a video-friendly MSC AF motor as well as a weather-resistant design, the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f2.8 Macro is a good choice for outdoor macro shooting, such as nature portraits or close-up videos. Compared to its main (and more expensive) competitor, the Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH OIS, it offers better quality for the money, delivering category-leading vignetting performance among Micro Four Thirds prime lenses as well as excellent sharpness.

Olympus MSC ED M. 60mm f/2.8 on a OM-D EM-5
Greetings!
First let me say that I always read your reviews prior to getting new equipment. Thank you for these excellent reviews! As for this lens, I am contemplating the purchase of the Olympus OM-D EM-5 as my "travel" kit, and am most interested in image sharpness and detail in prints up to about 16x20. So far I've read that the Oly 75mm is among the sharpest optics for m4/3. I wonder how this Oly macro stands up in terms of sharpness. As a "Macro" lens, one would think that sharpness and resolution is a primary characteristic. Reply |
