There's vertical motion blur on your first image. That's why I always use a macro flash hand holding 1:1 macros with this lens. Using that technique, I get a 90% success rate (razor sharp 1:1 macro shots). That way I can also set the f/stop to 16 and get a useful depth of field at 1:1.

I'm sorry, Frank, but this made me laugh.  I was just playing with my camera and lens, not working.  That's why I wasn't carrying flashes, worrying too much about F stops or trying for razor shart shots.  I was just marveling at the range of shots I could get off quickly with the 60mm Oly lens.  Stick your camera in the elf's eye and then pivot for lazy dog shots.  Sometimes I get tired of razor sharp bugs on the forum and long for partially in-focus elf's eyes.
