Summary: I find it odd that the lenstip review of this lens says "it has no competition in the micro 4/3 system, especially given the fact that lenstip reviewed the Panasonic Leica 45mm macro, which has been out for awhile, with equal praise for its sharpness and other qualities. The advantage of the Oly 60mm for macro is that it is a bit longer (60mm compared to 45mm) and it has better focus delimiters. The advantage of the PLeica 45mm is that it is shorter, which might be an advantage for indoor, general purpose shooting. They are both great lenses, but this Olympus 60mm certainly has stiff competition in the Leica 45mm. The latter, however, is more costly.
