OM System Olympus EM-M6028 M.Zuiko Digital ED 60MM F2.8 Macro Lens(Black)

All the above pictures were taken in Manual mode, in an Olympus mark iv mirrorless. Happy with the lens. If you are into macro photography, this should be part of your lens kit. Light in weight and a must-have in your kit.

What can I say but that this is a wonderful lens. Tack sharp across its field even wide open. Great for macro or regular shooting. I find myself carrying this on my OM-1 a great deal of the time for on the go macro shots. The lens is a little slender but I have adopted a grip where I wrap my left hand around the barrel in a full overhand grip and move the focus with my pinky. Works great. I got an aftermarket lens hood for it off Amazon for 16 bucks which works perfectly. I stay away from the horribly expensive Olympus accessories.

I just had to buy this. With Amazon discounting it and also offering a £70 voucher, it was too much of a bargain to turn down. I had to wait a few weeks for it to arrive but the immense saving of £160+ made that wait worthwhile. (Even used versions of this lens sell for more.) A 1:1 magnification ratio is the gold standard when it comes to macro lenses, which means that the image on the sensor is the same size as in reality. So, what’s it like to use? Attached to my EM5.2, in a word; brilliant. Weighing in at a mere 6.5oz (185g), the first thing you’ll notice is the three position ‘oh-so-handy’ focus limiter switch and distance scale. To save the lens from hunting it’s entire length, you set a specific range outside of which the lens won’t focus, but you can also jump from a close focus distance to a far one and back again in milliseconds. If you’re using the 0.19-0.4m setting, by moving to switch to the 1:1 position (it will spring back to its previous position) you go to the closest focusing distance then it’s easier to actually move the camera itself until you get the focus you want. Or use manual focus alongside the focus peaking option. Not only that, the large ribbed fly-by-wire focus ring is comfortable to use and precise, but to go from infinity to the closest distance does require a lot of turns, hence the limiter. Unusually, the distance scale is vertical instead of the usual horizontal type. Due to its internal focusing mechanism, unlike many other lenses, this one doesn’t extend, so you needn’t worry about scaring those creepy crawlies. That it doesn’t rotate either means you can carry on using that polariser (or any other filter) if and when needed. Having used this for a week or so, I’ve decided that though f11 and f16 are perfectly satisfactory, it’s at its best from f2.8 to f8 with spectacular centre sharpness. It’s both dust proof and splash proof and it doubles as an excellent portrait lens and medium telephoto one too. Now, some may bemoan the absence of an included lens hood, but Olympus (or should it be OMDS now?) doesn’t include them with their non PRO lenses anyway, so it’s not really a deal breaker. + Exceptionally sharp, even wide open at f2.8. No chromatic aberration (that I have seen). Weather sealing. Focus limiter. Renders nice bokeh. Small and light. Excellent as a slightly longer prime lens. - No lens hood.

Livré dans les temps, et en parfait état. Tropicalisé, léger, ça va être génial mais c’est un tout autre type de photo qui exigera apprentissage et persévérance. Complété par un filtre de 46mm indispensable à mes yeux afin de préserver l’objectif des branchages vu les plans très serrés. Le part soleil est un choix à l’appréciation de chacun sachant que la difficulté majeure de la macro va consister à suffisamment éclairer son sujet.

Voilà 2 ans et demi que je l'utilise monté sur un E-M1... que du bonheur... Léger, il délivre de magnifiques macros... et pas que... sous ce libellé «macro» il excelle aussi en portrait, que ce soit humains ou animaux. À grande ouverture, les bokehs sont doux et séduisants même si le système 4/3 limite un peu le rendu par rapport aux systèmes classiques. Si on devait dire un peu du mal, mais je ne lui enlève pas d'étoile, (vu la qualité des images)c'est que, effectivement comme l'a remarqué un autre utilisateur averti, la molette en mode 1:1 n'est pas pratique et on doit la tenir pour déclencher en conservant ce mode. Et ne pas proposer de pare-soleil sur un tel objectif est un peu pingre de la part du fabricant, il faut l'avouer...

Un objetivo pequeño y ligero (82x56mm y 185g), acorde con la filosofía del sistema sistema m4/3. Su funcionamiento y calidad óptica son magníficas, y junto con una Olympus O-MD E-M... forman un tándem casi imbatible, capaz de sacarle los colores a sistemas réflex muchísimo más caros, voluminosos y pesados. Con un diafragma de 7 palas, el desenfoque es muy suave y "cremoso", muy adecuado para macros clásicas y sin florituras, en las que prima sobre todo la buena nitidez del motivo. Su magnificación llega a 1:1 y tiene un dial con 3 rangos de enfoque: 19 ... 40cm, 19cm ... Infinito y 40cm ...Infinito, para mejorar la eficacia del enfoque según la situación. Además tiene una ventana que muestra con bastante precisión tanto la distancia de enfoque como la magnificación. Cuando salió era ciertamente caro, pero ahora tiene un precio que, sin ser barato, si es más asequible y hace que esta pequeña joya valga cada euro que cuesta. Actualizo el 06/05/2024: pasan los años, y este objetivo sigue siendo un referencia en macro, con una calidad óptica que soporta perfectamente el incremento de resolución de los sensores más actuales. No en bano es capaz de resolver alrededor de 80 líneas por milímetro.
