Wesley 24mm 1.8f Macro
4

Just noticed this lens on the Devil's garage sale and picked it up. Very impressed with its performance. Especially considering it $90 price tag. The only real problem I had was it overfocused on my Olympus E-PL6. But a little scribed mark in the paint on the lens barrel to mark true infinity and it works fine. This is not Wesley's 24mm 1,4 CCTV lens but a true manual focus prime with a regular, metal MFT mount. And if the 5" focus isn't enough its sold with a MFT adapter that screws onto the filter threads on the front of the lens and you can shoot through the lens backwards for even closer focusing. I have to admit I haven't been able to use that feature to any good effect yet but I'll keep playing with it.

Thanks for the images! I was looking at this lens recently.

Do you have a macro value for it in standard mode, like 1:2 or better? I seldom go closer than 1:2 but more isn't a bad thing
