This article features handheld images captured with an M.Zuiko PRO 45 mm f/1.2 during a close up test done around my gardens at home.
The first thing readers may be thinking is “Why do a close up test with a relatively short prime lens that has a minimum focusing distance of 50 cm (~19.7 inches)?” Admittedly this is a rather bizarre thing to do.
Yesterday I spent some time combining two macro technologies to see if they could be successfully used handheld in the field. I didn’t pick a particularly good day for this macro photography test as it was quite breezy around my yard. On the positive side, the weather added some interesting complexity to the endeavor.
This article provides my M.Zuiko 90mm PRO IS Macro review and is based on a good amount of field work done over the past 6 or 7 weeks. As regular readers know this is not a gear review website. We only do hands-on reviews of equipment that we actually own and use.

I’ve never been very interested in astral photography, and as regular readers know, I hate using a tripod. The combination of those two factors has resulted in me pretty much ignoring moon photography.
