Telephoto prime lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless digital cameras and provides a 120mm equivalent focal length.
Ideal for macro shooting, this lens offers a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 7.5" to suit working with close-up subjects. The lens barrel also has an indicator window with scales for working at 1:1.3, 1:2, and 1:4 magnifications, and a Focus Limit Switch can be used to constrain the usable focusing range for faster, more controlled performance.
One extra-low dispersion element suppresses chromatic aberrations and color fringing to realize a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
One E-HR (Extra-High Refractive index) element and two high refractive index elements are also featured in the optical design to control spherical aberrations and distortion for accurate rendering and high sharpness.
A ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance.
Internal focusing mechanism maintains the overall lens length while focusing for easier use when photographing close-up subjects.
Splashproof and dustproof construction benefits working with this lens in inclement conditions.

New Olympus Macro Lens

By Milton Joel
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-08-01

I recently purchased this new macro lens and am very happy with it. The lens is surprisingly light and small which is great for a macro lens that I also might be trying to hand-hold to shoot and need a lighter weight if possible. The performance of the lens is on the money and I am very pleased with this purchase.

Very well built lens, and has a convenient range adjustment for when you are switching between closeup and normal photography. This lens does a good job as a backup portrait lens, in addition to being fantastic macro lens. I had a Nikkor 105mm macro that was very slow at focusing. This lens is much quicker, and works fantastic with the focus stacking on many Olympus bodies. Great addition to my lens lineup.

So far so good.

It's my first lens by Olympus so I don't have anything else to compare it to that they make. It's plasticky, it's also versatile. I'm not fond of the limiter dial on the side really. But the images I have taken with it so far are sharp. I use it on the EM1 mark iii. It unlocks certain features that can only be used in conjunction with an Olympus lens.

I have spent the entire weekend crawling around on my hands and knees following all the turtles and torts as well as an occasional bug for what I think might be the perfect shot.

Can I use the TC 2.0X with the 60mm Macro?
Asked by: Jaf
The lens gives you 1:1 magnification with a minimal focus distance of 7 1/2 inches. I have not used a teleconverter with the lens. I think you could use it to increase the focal length. The sensor is micro fourth third, that would make the effective focal length of the lens at 120 mm.

question

Is the warranty worldwide or only valid in US?
Asked by: Anonymous
The lens comes with a 1-year Olympus USA warranty. For customers taking it outside the United States, please check with the manufacturer locally, to see if they will honor the USA warranty. This is entirely up to the discretion of the manufacture in question and out of the control of B&H.
