Re: Olympus 45mm vs Olympus 60mm macro for food photography

I really appreciate the photos, it really helps put everything into perspective!

How far away was the camera from the pie (and your adorable cat) when you were using the 60mm macro lens? do you think the lens is usable when taking photos of dishes in restaurants, or will the photo be too cropped? And how well does the lens function in low-light (say not well-lit restaurants)?

Also, how is the 60mm macro lens when it comes to portrait photography? obviously with the longer focal length it'll get a bit awkward in interior spaces, but I also read that the bokeh is more pleasing with the 45mm.

When it comes down to it though, I'm definitely more interested in food than portrait photography.
