First impression are very good. Good in low light for macro as it’s fast at 2.8. Pretty slow auto focus, though this isn’t a big problem. With the OMD EM1 Mk2 the stabilisation is superb even at lo shutter speeds (down to 1/10 handheld ! Also tried it as a telephoto for handheld pictures of the moon…yes really and it looks pretty impressive Light as a feather so you can add it to your kit and you won’t even notice (185g). Absolute bargain of a lens at under 300gbp It looks a bit like a toy lens as it’s so small

Review update everything I said below is true but I’ve been testing headphones and the audio playback on this phone is absolutely awful I’m using marshall monitor ii and beyerdynamic headphones so it’s not the headphones.. The whole point to buying this phone was to use with my new headphones, I’ve tried using aux cable the audio is the same. I’ve tried playing the same song’s my pc via both aux and Bluetooth, the audio is fantastic!! I’m probably going to be returning for a refund and buying something more expensive because you can’t listen to music on this mobile!! I picked this phone because errrrr it’s the only phone on Gadget Tree under £350 that actually had very very good reviews hahaha normally I’d go for another Sony Xperia or Samsung Galaxy but everything they had to offer had very mixed reviews.. I’ve only been using it for a couple of day’s but so far I’d say it was a brilliant phone, very responsive, good picture quality, good audio, great camera, feels nice, scrolls fast, feature packed, eemmm it makes phone calls and check this it sends pictures xD.. Only drawback I’ve found is the annoying bloat wear like Huawei wallet, Huawei I’d, Huawei health etc etc.. You can’t delete all of them I’ve deleted or disabled most of them but I still get notices for Huawei ID, apart from that’s I think it’s an excellent phone for the money definitely much better than my last Sony Xperia and yer it just works..

I have been a fan of micro four thirds from the introduction of the E-P1 but somewhat disappointed with the camera and lens performance. Having progressed via E-P2 and now to the superb OM-D the need was to select some top quality prime lenses to justify my move from a Nikon D300 outfit to Olympus. The 60mm macro joins the excellent Panasonic 20mm f1.7 and the superb Olympus 45mm f1.8 and so far I am more than satisfied with the results. This focal length is ideal for equestrian photography, dressage etc. and using aperture priority provides the combination of speed and depth of field which I require and results in crisp, contrasty and dynamic pictures. The fast autofocus with the OM-D is fantastic and early results compare favourably with the Nikon and 105mm prime lens! With my experience so far I would certainly recommend this lens as a quality product although it is relatively expensive and Olympus, as usual, do not include a lens hood or even a lens bag! 29 people found this helpful

UPDATE TO REVIEW: I thought you might like to know how it’s been after seven months with this lens now I’m really used to it. The answer is that I’m even more impressed. I upgraded my camera body to an E-M5 Mk II and this lens makes the most of the new 40MP high-res mode. The increase in detail is more than I expected in this mode and fantastic for macro work. But I use this lens for all kinds of things (not just macro) and the images it produces are always outstanding. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I chose this over the new and cheaper Panasonic 30mm macro because of its longer focal length, which has a few advantages. You don’t have to get quite so close to your subject for one thing, which is handy when it’s an insect that would be frightened away. And you’re less likely to cast a shadow. Plus, when you use it as a normal lens, for portraits, it’s a nice, long 120mm equivalent focal length. But I’m using it mostly as a macro lens and it is superbly sharp, with lovely colour and good contrast. Out of focus areas are really beautifully rendered – nicer I think than my Olympus 45mm f/1.8. I had a Canon SLR and Canon 60mm macro before I switched to my Olympus Micro Four Thirds system. That was my favourite lens ever and I wasn’t sure if this would be as good. Actually, I think it’s better. [August 2015 update: I’ve now used it ‘in anger’ at a classic car show and I was knocked out by the quality of the photos. It proved that this really is a multi-purpose lens, fabulous long shots of the cars and the ability to go really close on those lovely polished chrome details. Background blur is some of the nicest I’ve seen on a micro four thirds lens.] The slightly smaller sensor helps a bit I think, because with macro shots, you get more differential focus than you want as a rule and smaller sensors have a bit less of that. Using this on a camera with really fast autofocus helps too, as does having a flip out touch screen to focus on any part of your shot in an instant. Macro shooting can be frustrating so every little thing helps. It also helps to have a three position dial on the lens barrel to limit the distance the lens focuses over to stop it hunting. There’s a distance scale too with a moving needle that’s rather nice. And you can switch straight to 1:1 for the ultimate close up effect (the dial is sprung to the 1:1 position so you can return there instantly when lens refocuses, but only from the position that limits you between 0.19 and 0.4m). By and large so far though, I’ve left it on the default setting and hunting has rarely been an issue. The little dial that selects all this is too smoothly profiled and hard to turn though, and I found this somewhat annoying. You can manually focus of course, using the wide ring that turns very smoothly and weightily. There’s no ‘MF’ switch on the lens itself so you have to select in your camera menu. I set my camera initially to magnify the image when the focus ring was turned. This gives you a really close and clear view, but if you’re using the lens handheld, it makes keeping the image steady enough to actually focus (remember this a fairly long lens) extremely difficult. And it only magnifies the very centre, meaning what you’re focusing on might not be in the magnified view. Best used on a tripod. Focus peaking helps too, if your cameras has that. This works well on my Olympus E-M10. Long and narrow, It’s an odd looking lens, and definitely not as sexy as the all metal 17mm f/1.8 for instance, but it’s nicely made, rather like the 45mm f/1.8 in feel. It feels quite light in weight but not in any way cheap. There’s no case or lens hood. Overall though, I think this is just about the perfect macro lens for me and any downsides pale in comparison with its usability and outstanding image quality. 17 people found this helpful

Absolutely fantastic macro lens which is also perfect as a portrait lens; multiple focal ranges to choose from and pushing the selector fully forwards also adjusts the focus to the minimum distance which is very convenient. I use it on a Panasonic camera and it’s fully compatible and combined with the in-body stabilisation it’s incredibly good handheld too – although for perfect macro a solid tripod is of-course essential. The only complaint is that the lens hood is not included and is very overpriced at £50 for a little bit of plastic – note that cheaper versions of the hood are not worth using! 3 people found this helpful
