First negative review of the M. Zuiko 60/2.8 Macro

Tyson doesn't like the lens because:

1) Autofocus is poor in low light, which reduces the lens's usefulness shooting portraits.

--- he claims he was having trouble shooting his son with the equivalent of 10 60W bulbs 5ft away. Give me a break, 600W 5ft away? Yes the focus slows in low light but maybe once you get to the equivalent of 2 60w bulbs in a large bedroom. Its a macro lens, if you are expecting fast focus then you don't understand how macro lenses work. With focus limiter in use under the lighting he describes I find the 60mm really close in speed to the 45mm.

2) Focus by wire is "not optimal" for macro work.

---- true but totally usable once you adjust to it

3) Resolution seems to deteriorate more at high ISO more than it does with some other lenses.

What do you guys think?
