Don't forget the 35 3.5 macro lens. It is going to be way cheaper than both if you are looking for a dedicated macro lens that can still shoot portraits.

True, and it is a 1:1, but I have never actually tried that one, so I can't give any opinion on its performance

It's a terrific performer and very inexpensive. It's probably my most used FourThirds SLR lens.

I had the 35mm. The working distance can be an issue. The 60mm is obviously much better in this regard. I can't fault the 60mm - brilliant.
