Oly 60/f2.8:

  • Pro: Very compact, nice handling, usable focus distance, focus pre-selection, fast AF, 1:1 and sharp
  • Con: Working distance at 1:1 is only 5cm, little bit of softness at f8 and above

Forgive a dumb question, but when you say "f/8 and above" do you mean "f/8 and wider" or "f/8 and narrower"?

My guess was "wider", but then I realized you could possibly be talking about diffraction at narrow apertures, so figured I'd better ask.

Thanks!
