Chris,
I use the 35 Macro because it is Autofocus, and can focus down to almost
1:1. I have longer lenses, but they are manual focus, and, with insects,
that just doesn't work, at least, not for me. I do have the Zuiko Digital
14-54 Ver.1, which I use sometimes for this type of image, but 54 vs 35 is
not much of a magnification.
