The OM System's M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens, specifically designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, offers a 120mm full-frame equivalent focal length. This makes it a perfect choice for telephoto and macro photography. With a maximum 1:1 magnification and a minimum focusing distance of 7.5 inches, it allows for detailed close-up shots. The lens is equipped with a Focus Limit Switch that restricts the focusing range, thereby improving autofocus speed and precision for subjects near and far. Furthermore, the lens incorporates the Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system, ensuring swift, seamless, and silent operation, making it equally adept for still photography and video recording.
The optical design incorporates advanced elements to ensure high image quality. An extra-low dispersion element reduces chromatic aberrations, providing excellent clarity and colour accuracy. Two high refractive index elements and one E-HR element minimise spherical aberrations and distortion, resulting in sharp, accurate renderings. A ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating is applied to individual elements to suppress flare and ghosting, improving contrast and colour fidelity even in challenging lighting conditions. These features make the lens a reliable choice for photographers seeking precision and quality.
Designed for durability and versatility, the lens has a splashproof and dustproof construction, allowing it to perform well in adverse weather conditions. The internal focusing mechanism keeps the lens length consistent during use, facilitating easier handling for close-up work. A rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces smooth, pleasing bokeh, enhancing the aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas. The lens barrel includes an indicator window with magnification scales at 1:1.3, 1:2, and 1:4, offering precise control for macro photography tasks.
