Noticed a few people on other threads mentioning the Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro lens - I have had the Oly 60 lens for a while now but not shot much with it (bought when local temps about -28C, not ideal for patient outdoor close focus), so now in temporarily warm place, I am doing more close range shooting that it was designed for. Very impressed with the detail and colours of this lens so far. A few examples;

Tide pool anemone (through about 20cm of water) - incredible detail on the tiny shells caught in the tentacles.

And one more example, with a crop:

Tide pool view; with a tiny (15mm or so) crab poking out...original shot from a metre or so away - the 120mm equivalent FL of this lens helps in not needing to get quite so close.

And a 1:1 crop of the crab (well, it is when posted...SC site will re-size a bit) - focal plane a bit behind its eyes, fantastic detail on the tiny hairs/spines on its legs!

Doesn't look like this lens gets much exposure. It is an awesome lens IMO
Not sure if this is an overload? Please say if too many at one post.

The Olympus 60 Macro is probably my favorite Macro of all time. It’s what got me hooked on closeup photography. It’s probably one of my single biggest priorities to reacquire in this system. Great shots to all above! I’m so excited for the eventual release of the pro Macro to see what they can squeeze out of a slightly longer FL!
