Sharp, fast, very good quality macro or short tele. Superb value
The 60mm is an often overlooked lens in the m.zuiko line up. Its amazingly sharp, lightweight and the Macro capabilities is some of the best I have seen from any lens on any system. But also, I use this lens as a short tele for portrait work. Even though its ƒ2.8 it produces nice bokeh. The one star off for size is while being very lightwieght and very skinny (so its easy to pack) its pretty long compared to other lenses that have its same diameter. It almost looks funny, like a sniper scope on the front of my EM-1. Nothing to not buy it for but it was odd to me when I first saw it.

Great price. Good image quality. Lightweight all plastic construction.
This is a very capable lens. On a a M43 camera it translates to a 80mm-300mm telephoto lens. Its practically light as a feather and image quality is surprisingly good. For the price its a great lens especially on Olympus cameras that have IBIS. (In body image stabilization). Construction is all plastic including the mount so in order for it to last you must take care with it.
