About the Olympus M. Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 Digital ED
A flower petal, suffused with the morning light streaming past the forest canopy. An adventurous beetle, navigating the rivulets on the rainforest floor after the daily deluge. Two wedding rings, stacked in front of the bride's dress. And a exquisite, soulful portrait of the bride in the room's subdued natural light. These are the kinds of images you'll be able to get with this lens on the front of your Olympus PEN or another mirrorless camera.
This lens is capable of great macro shots at focusing distances as close as 7-1/2 inches, and with its wide f/2.8 circular, seven-bladed aperture, your out-of-focus backgrounds will melt like butter. But that's not all. With its equivalent focal length of 120mm, it makes an excellent medium telephoto lens or portrait lens.
It's dust- and splash-proof as well, so don't worry about taking it out and about where the good shots live.

So far so good, bought this for a macro lens but it is getting the same amount of use as a portrait lens.
