p.2 #1 · p.2 #1 · Good lens for Flowers, Leaves and for Macro for EM5ii


I have gone through a number of, increasingly sharper, macro lenses for m4/3. I started with the Tamron 90mm 2.5, then used a Kiron 105, then a Leica Leitz 60mm. For several years, now, I have been using the Oly 4/3 50mm f2 and its matched x2 TC, when required, via an MMF-2 adapter. I am not looking to change that for up to 1:1.

In May 2020 I had to send it for repair. I couldn’t be without it so I purchased another copy. It was a used one so I did some test shots to see if it was OK. I then placed the images in a folder and forgot about them and carried on using the lens.

Because of the distance and the timid subject, I used a matched x2TC, which is my normal practice for such subjects.

These images have had various degree of cropping but no more than 50% (first image).

It was very harsh lighting so I have modified highlights and some contrast.

The stereos are crosseye.

Olympus EM-1 (aperture priority), Olympus 4/3 x2 TC, Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 macro, 1/100, 1/160, 1/200 at f11, f8, and f11 ISO 400, hand-held.

The lens performed as expected.
