[ Lens ] m.Zuiko 60/f2.8 Macro

[winterain]

haaaa ya, think the 60/2.8 marco enough lar... use the 45/1.8 for Potrait (low light??)....


Btw, how many of you guys use flash for your M43???

Virtually never, unless doing studio shoot... Probably will start using flash more often for macro, still learning about macro shooting, but it seems flash is used quite often...

Regarding the decision between 45mm and 60mm, under daylight/optimal lighting conditions, the 60mm can do everything the 45mm can, but the 45mm cannot take macro shots. The focal length difference is just a matter of taking a few steps forwards/backwards ...

The 45mm's size however is super small and light, doesn't feel like you have a lens on at all. 60mm physical size is quite long..

One important point to consider. 60/2.8 is weather sealed. 45/1.8 is not.
Add in the macro feature, you get what you pay for in the 60/2.8
If can afford buy both.

The average price of this beauty in Hong Kong is around H$4K. I just bought a piece for H$3880 at Cam2 in Mongkok. Still one of the sharpest m4/3 lens.
