  • Playing with my M60 Macro lens! (lots of photos)

    These are my first photos with the M60 Macro lens on my E-M5.

    The Dragon photos were through glass & create a little haze.




    And a crop of the above.


    Ants in a Gum Blossom using MF.


    My dogs expecting a game (throwing the blue toy for them).


    A Blueberry Blossom (with flash).


    Australian Native Violet (with flash).


    And a close crop of the above.


    An Eriostemon flower with some little creatures (at 1:1 with flash).


    And a close crop of the above.


    And just to show you the actual size of the Eriostemon flower.


    Thanks for looking at all these first attemps with this great little 60mm macro lens. I can see I'm going enjoy this one.

      Fantastic! Makes me want a 60mm even more. What flash did you use?

        Thanks. It is very nice & the weather sealing as well its small size & lightness, makes it a great lens to carry in the kit bag.

          Really sharp macro shots. It looks like a great lens.

            Very nice set Ross.
            You're obviously enjoying this lens as much as I am. It's opening up a whole new world of photography for me.

            Thanks for sharing.

                Thanks & I think it is & at the dicount price here (in Oz) & with the 20% cash back, it was just too good to pass up. It will cost me $426 in the end, but I would have got it anyhow (don't tell Oly, 'cause they still have to pay me back yet).

                  Thanks Huw. Sorry, I missed your comment while the email notifications were down (& while I was busy typing the above reply). I was just having fun chasing anything to try my new toy on. I had another go with a bit more intent in this thread too.

                        That's what I told myself when I first saw the lens & its samples.

                        Thanks Mark. It is an enjoyable little lens. My Sigma 150 macro lens (for 4/3's) is huge & heavy by comparison, so it is a real welcome to have something as small & as light as this one, and..... it (60mm lens) can focus fast too!
