OK. Then in that case, I would most definitely recommend the Olympus 60mm. The difference between regular and macro lenses is, other than they are designed to natively provide close focus functionality, they produce a flat image field across the sensing medium, so that there's no curvature happening if you are photographing such things as coins, stamps etc. The resolving power of the Olympus macro lens is also quite exceptional for such a low priced macro lens.
