Cavewalker, you have some shots that really show what the Zuiko 90/2 Macro is all about. IMO, nothing beats the Olympus Zuiko 90/2 for close ups
All shoots i have so far are here
Will do more next weekend. The Zuiko is the best mcro lens i've had in hands
This thread has been a joy for the most part of it. Now it can either be forgotten and dropped - or improved?!
May I kindly ask you all to hold back on your macros and extreme close-ups? Background blurred to beyond recognition isn't really a problem for any lens capable of close enough focusing, and a task for any P&S as well as for an SLR camera.
Instead, now let us focus on quality rather than quantity, OK?
Background OOF highlights or strong contrast are of interest
Subject isolation and background rendering is of interest (subject somewhat bigger than a bird at least then)
Rendring of areas going from the focal plane and out from it is of interest
...and some more I have forgotten.
I hope you macro guys don't take any offence.
Please also remember to tell us what lens and camera (sensor size) you used when taking your admirable image. And remember, an admirable image here is not necessarily a piece fo art - but an image giving us an idea about hoe the lens handles OOF areas.

Does this meet your criteria, Jonas?
Heh! Of course it does.
How is the focusing ring on that ZE50? I think more images taken with the lens are welcome along with anything you may have to say about it. Thank you,
