Stinging Moose,
There's always a lot of discussion in general of what is exactly close-up
photography, macro photography and micro photography.
I'm not going into that, but some are using the 40-150mm pro as a 'macro'
lens, because you can quite close to your object.
I own a lot of macro lenses, OM, OM bellows, E-system, and now the two µ43
lenses.
After this few days I'm using this lens really have to say this 30mm 3.5
macro is the easiest one to work with.
Very fast focusing and sharp, but of course not sticking the lens into a
bee hive -;)
I love the 60mm macro too, although I'm not very keen of the distance
limiter knob, but once you learn to handle that, it's focusing speed is
very nice and you get wonderful results.
I'm not taking pictures of wasps, flies or bees, but more frogs and toads
in or around pools or in the forests.
By the way and not in the least I like your photographs very much.
Still not buggered Dharma
