A few from the Oly 60 macro C&C welcome
5

All are straight OOC JPG, but i do have raw as well.  Comments on composition, camera settings and potential post-processing very much welcomed.

One thing i noticed on many of the shots through the EVF (Panny G5) was that the DOF looked much shallower in the 'live view' but then more would be in focus once i took the picture (i have 3 second review on).

My first real outing with the 60 and all i can say is WOW!

Thanks for looking

Thank you Hans - bedankt!

Always nice to "hear" from the Netherlands.  My father was born in Barneveld and my mother in Ijstrum, Freisland

Evans is easy, van Sligtenhorst is not....

Nice that  you understand some dutch, it's a hard and unlogical lingo...

Where I bought my gx7 there was a Oly 60mm too, but 400 euros was too steep for me....

It might be worthwhile, your pictures show...

Olympus USA recently had the 60Macro for $399 (usually $499) so i grabbed it at that price.

The AF is so fast and so good.  The MF is so smooth and allows very precise focusing.  Focus limiter is also fantastic.

Occasionally it is at getolympus.com reconditioned - i think Europe has an equivalent site.

One more from today - steel braided hose on a firetruck:
