Great shots. We're you using a tripod?

Alpha Whiskey PhotographyAug 29, 2014 01:11 PM

Nope. All hand held :)

Great work. Your pictures with the 45 1.8 have made the decision easy for me. I'm going to have to buy this lens now.

It's a super lens! But for macro work I'd recommend the 60mm F/2.8, which can also be used for portraits and has excellent bokeh. :)

I haven't considered the 60mm. I heard the 45mm was sharper and great portrait lens. Which would be my primary use. Right now I use the PL25 exclusively. You think the Sigma 60mm is a better lens?

Never tried the Sigma, Michael, so couldn't say. But the Oly 60mm is super sharp. See here:

Oh. Sorry. I thought you were talking about the Sigma 60mm. I didn't know there was an Olympus 60. Between the oly 45 and oly 60 if you were to buy one which would you prefer?

I think I use the 60mm more. I bought my 45mm second hand and it wasn't too expensive. Beautiful lens. I suppose it depends on how much macro work you do. The 60mm give you the option of focusing closer, while at the same time being a good portrait and short telephoto lens.
