olympus omd + m.zuiko 45 mm

Thanks for sharing - it is a wonderful hobby you started with!

I'll second on the opinion that the oval / round border is distracting, but taste is different, so you may enjoy that - fine for me:)

Do you have the 12-50mm kit lens? If so it may be better to use that in macro mode for close ups than cropping the 45mm.

Otherwise I can recommend the Kenko extension tubes with the 45mm, which give you almost 1:1 macro.

Best regards, Kåre
