Another popular question that I get asked is Olympus 60mm F2.8 macro vs 75mm F1.8. Almost every time I talked about the 60mm macro lens, some one will asked if 75mm can do the same for close up shooting. Similarly when I discussed how amazing the 75mm F1.8 is for portrait shots, some one will then asked if the 60mm macro can do portraits as well. I understand the idea of getting one lens to do everything, but these two lenses, the 60mm macro and 75mm F1.8 are fundamentally very different lenses, designed for different purposes. Therefore I am exploring the similarities and differences between these two lenses in this video, and hopefully this will clear out some confusion out there.

I got the 75mm. It's one the most amazing m.Zuiko lenses there is. The 75mm is THE choice for concert and/or stage/theater photography. If I had a little over thousand dollar extra to spare, I would also buy the 60mm with the dedicated flash guns for macro work, but I don't have that change - I just bought the 100-400! :)

The 60mm f2.8 macro is my favourite lens! I'd like to give it three cheers because it always impresses. I never considered the 75 for macro, the close focussing distance isn't right for that. Portrait photos on the 60mm are excellent. You just have to remember to switch the focal length limiter, otherwise your whole picture is bokeh! 😉

Very different lenses indeed. Buying used on eBay has enabled me to get both so I am doubly happy. The 60mm is a little bit challenging to use - I am relatively new to full macro - but I love a challenge. If you want an easier introduction into macro the 30mm f3.5 is also very good, extremely portable and so pairs with the EM5 or EM10 well. Thank you Robin for another clear and informative video.

A big advantage of the 60 macro is its capacity to realize focus stacking automatically : such a wonderful function for macro work! For that reason I think this is THE macro lens to own for m43. I'm more in portraits and social photography so only use the more suitable 75mm, but the 60mm is in my wish list for sure... The image quality and the creamy bokeh of the 75 reminds me my beloved 135:2L in a much better size (I still use it on the E-M1 with a Viltrox adapter for téléphoto nevertheless).

Thanks for the explanations. If you wanted to get very close to a subject with the 75mm, I suppose you could mount one or more extension rings between the lens and the camera, but I wonder how much the image quality would suffer from “forcing” the 75 into a focusing range it wasn’t designed for, compared to the 60?

If I was a macro shooter, I would own the 60mm f/2.8. It is clearly the best macro lens you can get for M4/3. I do own the 75mm f/1.8 and find it to be ideal for portraits, indoor sports, small theaters, and small club venues. It is long enough, fast enough, and so small that it becomes discrete.

f/1.8 75mm is a beautiful lens, super sharp, produces amazing portraits. It's almost like an air-loom piece with how well it's built. But you can achieve close enough results with a 45mm f/1.8. 60mm Macro f/2.8 lens on the other hand is I think a must have for any serious m4/3 owner. So I would purchase the 60mm macro before I get the 75mm 1.8 particularly if you already own the 45mm f/1.8. The weather sealing on the 60mm is also another great thing about that lens. I can't live without a 60mm but I could live without my 75mm even though I absolutely love that lens. But then again I occasionally do need macro (for headphone product shots), so I have a business justification for it. If you never do macro and you don't have a portrait prime lens. Then by all means get the 75mm f/1.8 and make sure you photograph your family with it. That lens will capture every detail like no other lens I used.

There’s also the Voigtlander 60mm f/0.95, in native micro4/3 mount. It’s much faster than the 75/1.8, and can focus as close as 1.5 inches, so near macro. Only negatives: it’s quite heavy, and it’s manual focus (not a negative for me personally). Beautiful lens.

The 75 is the clear winner. The 75 is better and the Sigma 60 is cheaper and jut a sharp as the Olympus 60mm, and the Olympus is lighter & macro. They are all good, the 75 is just a level higher. Great macro shots!

Robin (hello, and nice to see you), I have two issues with the 60mm Macro, and that's that people really don't understand what is meant by a "Macro" lens, and an associated problem, that I'm surprised that many people don't realise that Olympus' telephoto lenses, like the 40-150 PRO or the 75mm you discussed here, are often better close-up lenses than a Macro. As you and I know, a Macro lens is a "scientific" lens, whereas what many people are after is a close-up lens. The 40-150 PRO is the lens of choice for many close-up photographers, like myself, because true scientifically accurate Macro lenses bring their own problems. Can you please produce a video to explain the use of Olympus' close focus capabilities vs what is a true Macro lens, and why people would choose one or the other. Unless people work for Police Forensics or are scientists, a Macro lens is probably a poor choice. Anyhow, it's great to see you back full of exuberant enthusiasm, making excellent explanatory videos. Stay safe my friend, Rick
@rickbear7249
@rickbear7249 2 жыл бұрын
I'm talking about the problem that true Macro lenses force you to be too close to your subject, so the butterfly flies away or you can't get any available light on your subject, whereas the outstanding close-focusing capabilities of Olympus lenses totally remove these problems. Buying a Macro lens is often a poor choice for people who don't need their image to be mathematically correct. Rick

I am surprised about it because I didn't know that it is weather sealed. Beautiful! The 75 mm I did not have, because I'm not a people photographer. But the results you show to us are really great.

Nice video Robin. There is another good lens for portraits, which gives us great reach and subject separation. It is Sigma 56mm 1.4. Maybe you should make a video of the Sigmas 1.4 16mm, 30mm and 56mm. They are all very sharp and work great on Olympus. I like the 56mm 1.4, because it limits me a little less in the framing, compared to the quite narrow 75mm 1.8. It is super sharp and renders well. On the other hand, the unique reach of the Olympus 75mm combined with 1.8 suitable for low light conditions is a great piece of engineering. Have a great day.

The lenses were done for larger sensors, so on MFT we work with the sweet spot, that helps.

To me, the 60 is more versatile, which is why I chose it to quell my lust for the 75. Although, not as fast, for me, 60mm is a better focal length for portraits, flat enough without having to stand two meters away. You can always get closer but cannot always get further. The only thing the 75 does better is shoot faster than f2.8. Okay, maybe a touch sharper but flattering portraits are usually a touch soft - and I can hardly call the 60 a touch soft. For the price difference pays for a used 45 1.8 or Panasonic equivalent. However, I have an event to photograph at the end of October where I will surely rent a 75. I'll just keep repeating what I said above, hoping not to be convinced to shell out $675 for a used one. 😁

Seem like similar focal lengths but totally different beasts with different customers in mind... Already have the 60mm and don't use my 45mm enough to warrant a more expensive portrait lens like the 75mm, but if funds weren't a problem I'd get the 75mm just for the aperture... Yummy. Can see the 60mm as an alternative to the 75mm for portraits if you already have it, but the 45mm is such a good value lens and so much cheaper, if you didn't want to fork out for the 75mm that seems a no brainer??? My curiosity has been piqued so going to watch, as love your videos anyway, and also interested in seeing how the 75mm does for macro, as never even considered it for that myself 😊

Hey robin. To peoples like me who does not have the money for the 60mm Macro for film scanning. Don't go with the 30mm macro. The focal length is too short and give reflection on the negatives. It's manageable on black and white film but not on color film. Prefer to use Old full frame lens like Super Takumar coupled with macro extender and an adapter. I did it and since I got marvelous result on my negatives. Thanks to the Olympus EM1 MK2 which is a beast.

The 75mm 1.8 is the best lens for portrait, period! I had 45 1.2 and i have sigme 56 1.4 and 45 1.8. I destroyed the 75 1.8 but I will definitely buy it again. I will probably buy the 45mm 1.2 again, but the 75mm 1.8 is an absolute a leader. I use 35mm 3.5 for the macro. OMD I'm waiting for a 100mm macro !! In Denmark, the 45mm 1.2 is now 50% of the normal price. It has one advantage over the sigma 56mm 1.4 which is amazing. This is autofocus. More than twice as fast and much more precise. The real biggest advantage of olympus pro lenses is the autofocus. 8mm 1.8, 300mm f4.17mm 1.2 and 45 1.2 are much faster than my old Nikkor 70-200 2 8 and new Sony 70-200 2.8

Extension tubes are ok (I use it with 10+16mm tubes) but they won't get you super close considering the 75mm focal length. If you have a little more budget, do use a dioptric lens: it'll be likely a better choice and won't lose you any light - you can try a Raynox 150 or 250, or a Nisi (I have a B+W +10 and an older Olympus +2).

Both lenses are stellar. But for out and about shooting, the 60mm never makes it into my camera bag for obvious reasons of redundancy. I'd say a worthy comparison would be the 60mm f2.8 Sigma Art Lens for m4/3 which shot such unbelievable photos for me--and when the 75 is stopped down to f2.8 there's almost nothing to choose between them. But when it comes to macro work, that Oly 60mm is outstanding and totally worth the money.

I opted for a brand-x, full auto pair of tubes to pair with Oly primes and spent less than $50us. Yes, you can stack tubes and yes, the 60mm works with tubes, taking you beyond 1:1, and it’s technically challenging with some “wow” results! Have fun!

Yes extension tubes are available. I have a pair by "Viltrox" - 10mm and 16mm giving a total of 26mm. I found them on Amazon. They are made of rigid plastic, have electrical contacts and work fine with my Olympus 45mm f/1.8 I must try them with my 12mm-50mm in its 43mm macro setting.

I bought the 60 macro after watching one of your videos. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pslnrJVp29HGY40.html . It has several settings, and the manual that I downloaded was not clear. I figured out what the standard setting was and turning the control clockwise puts it into macro. There are two settings to the left of standard. The extreme one turning counter-clockwise is spring loaded. In the other video you show the settings at 07:17, but run through them quickly. Having examples of what the settings do would be nice. Like if the object is this far away, this setting works best. I really like he lens. Once I figure it all out I will love it.

Not exactly. From top to bottom: 1:1 - Only meaningful when in manual focus mode (MF). It positions the lens elements at the closest focus point. If you are in auto focus mode (AF), whenever AF kicks in, the lens elements will be repositioned. 0.19-0.4m - restricts AF to be within these distances. AF will not hunt further (ie. 0.40001m - infinity), thus speeding up auto focus 0.19m-infinity - AF is unrestricted and will auto focus from the closest possible to infinity 0.4m-infinity - restricts AF to be within these distances. AF will not hunt closer (ie. 0.19-0.4m), thus speeding up auto focus

You can't compare the 75 to a macro lens without using macro rings
