Olympus M.ZUIKI ED 60mm Macro

Olympus has been on a roll with their latest batch of Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lenses. They kicked off this run with the 12mm F2 and followed it up with the 45mm f1.8 and the 75mm f1.8. Their newest offering is something different, their first MFT macro lens. The Olympus M.ZUIKI ED 60mm Macro, Olympus’ newest offering and we’ve got our hands on it.

The lens is smaller than I excepted it to be. At approximately 3.2″ long, it’s about the same size as the OM-D’s 12-50mm kit lens. So far, overall usability of the lens is quite good. The focus ring dominates the top half of the lens and it turns with a smooth, consistent action. The resistance from the focus ring is neither too light nor too heavy. It feels very balanced when manually focusing.


Let me show you some images that will describe by themselves  what is the new Olympus'.
