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

You can consider the Sigma 19mm or 30mm as well. The 19mm focuses down to 7.9 inches. The 30mm focuses down to 11.8 inches. Neither is as fast as the 20mm F1.7 or 45mm F1.8 but both are sharp and well regarded for the price. The Sigma 60mm F2.8 is a nice lens also. Macro (IMO) is not needed for food photography. While the Oly 60mm Macro is a great lens, if you look for used lenses, you might be able to get all three of the Sigmas for the price of the Oly.
