No tripod mount, although it is light enough that it poses no danger to
OM mounts. I would have said exceptional macro. Lots of zooms say they
are macro with 1:4, the Oly macro primes go to 1:2, this lens goes well
beyond that to 1:1.55.

I would say fine lens and the same about macro as for the Tamron 60-300.
