Re: Anyone have the Olympus 60mm f2.8 AND 45mm f1.8?

I have both. They are indeed substantially different lenses, both in focal length and intent. For me, the 45mm is a general walk-about lens. It vies with my 75mm for being my favourite lens.

The 60mm is marketed as a macro lens. That's not to say that it's no good at anything else. Indeed, it's very sharp. But out of all my lenses (I own all Olympus' prime lenses), it would be the first to go as it's the one I use the least.
