Re: Olympus 60mm Macro AF

Do you mind explaining, Walt A,  what you mean by "give the limiter a quick nudge"
Do you mind explaining what you mean by "give the limiter a quick nudge"- I have been trying this afternoon with my OMD Em5ii to no avail. A little more detailed clarification would be very welcome.
Your images are terrific.

That is excellent sharpness / depth of field. Doubt this was focus stacked as the insect was probably not staying put. What aperture did you use and how far from the subject?

Thanks, yep single shot F6.3 on both. Unsure about exact distance, it was as close as I could get!

Great catch! These wasps are just half a centimetre long.

Perhaps the video linked earlier in this thread can illustrate it best:

Skip forward to 30:15 to get to the focus limiter.

Thanks, yes they are small and very flighty, I was very pleased to have caught these as I'd spent a long time following it around and kept loosing it, I was getting a bit hot and frustrated....

Re: Olympus 60mm Macro AF

Thanks for your help - I think that I must practice and practice with the 60mm.

Hope you have a good and healthy New Year.
