When it's sharp, it should be sharp. :-)   My new to me M.Z 60/2.8 Macro lens 
arrived from KEH. Way too much stuff to do 
before heading for New England for a month, so I've hardly used it. I expect to 
have plenty of opportunities on the trip.

Here's a little comparison of it to my primary recent means of 'getting close'.
<http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=8362>Doing 1:1 hand held is 
problematic, so the 60/2.8 shot is on a tripod, 
the others hand held.

Assuming both frames are magnified to the same display size, 1:1 on 4/3 covers 
the equivalent subject area of 2:1 on FF. 
So this is pretty darn close. ;-)

The flowers are Cape Honeysuckle, about 5 cm from base to tip of the 
reproductive* parts. The pads on the tip of the 
stamens are about 4 mm long, so they are MUCH larger than life size on screen 
in the 100% crop.

At 1:1, focusing is easier with a focusing rail, so one just went in the pile 
of things for our trip.

Speaking of sharp, this is the first µ4/3 lens I've used where I can see a 
clear deterioration of detail @ 100%, moving 
from f11 to f16.
