Here are some shots of some bee flies, a small very fast-moving parasite of solitary bees in western Europe. Autofocus is performed internally and is very quick and precise, locking onto subjects at normal shooting distances in an instant.

Even when shooting towards the light, this lens is resistant to flare and contrast remains high in all but the most challenging lighting conditions. Having quick access to maximum magnification can save you valuable time and ensure magnification consistency from frame to frame, but there are a few things to understand about that little shortcut. OM SYSTEM AMBASSADOR | I am a professional wildlife photographer who over the past 20 years undertook more than 40 photo expeditions to tropical rainforests across the world.

one more question, for bee in flight do yo think it would be possible to use AF-C tracking or Pro Captur L? Every once in a while, you’ll see the heptagonal shape of the aperture appear in out-of-focus highlights, but even then, it’s not really distracting.

The 60mm has a Focus Limit Switch, which allows you to establish a narrower range of focus and zero in on your subject faster – particularly useful in shallow-depth-of-field macro shooting.Thanks to the in-built AF, it’s possible to maximise the Olympus functions such as Focus Stacking/ Bracketing, which allows you to shoot a great macro details without the need for external repositioning of the camera or subject. I don’t like to use a tripod and therefore must stay very still while focus stacking to avoid any blur I might get shooting at the slow shutter speed of 1/50th. The most important first step to take when Bracketing is finding a subject that is still, any movement from you or the subject will result in a blurry final image or misaligned photos. lifesize) Here is a photo from a camera locked on a tripod at closest focusing distance with the 12-40, and then the Olympus 60mm. ISO-200, handheld in-camera focusing stacking, full frame capture, subject distance 300 mm Olympus OM-D E-M1X + M.

So, you will usually be able to put quite a bit more distance between the front of your lens and your subject. Hence, I was always in a rush to do my blog reviews (though I am contemplating on slowing down in future reviews, to get better collection of images). Besides the focusing ring, the other main feature of the lens is a dial that allows you to set the distance range that the lens will use when attempting to lock focus. Telephoto prime lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless digital cameras and provides a 120mm equivalent focal length.When we transitioned over to the Olympus M4/3 camera system back in June 2019, one of the first lenses we bought was the M. Since shooting on the M43 format, I’ve had my share of various bodies and especially lenses in my hands. The page is divided into four logical segments – numerical rating | practical observations | sample of published photos from a given lens | FAQ, where you can find my brief responses to questions I received. Even though there are some other macro lens options for Micro Four Thirds shooters, none of the others strikes me as a better choice. Bokeh is a word used for the out-of-focus areas of a photograph, and is usually described in qualitative terms, such as smooth / creamy / harsh etc.
