I recently picked up the OM System M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens, and today I decided to play a bit with it on my Lego displays. Its been snowing outside for the better half of the day, and I just don’t feel like going outside, so… improvise! I also got to test out my 3LeggedThing Billy 2.0 Carbon Fiber Tripod, so it was a win-win!

The 60mm Macro is a really good macro lens. The 60mm distance, which in MFT format equates to a 120mm, allows you to capture your subject in macro without getting right on top of them, which you absolutely can do if you want that. There’s a limiting switch on the lens that lets you set the macro range, from 1:1 to 0.4 to infinity.

I used the 0.19 to infinity setting to capture photos of my Lego. The images get in so close you can see the dust on some of the figurines! (yeah, mini-vacuum time). Below are some of the images I took, all unedited. Maybe I should become a Lego photographer?
