That's weird. Just set 60/2.8 to 1:1, and working distance is ~3.25 in.
Yes, it is weird. Pulled those numbers from reviews--not clear if the "S
macro" switch was engaged--suspect much shorter FL with that switch set.
People describe hearing lens elements moving around. It seems the 1:1 setting
on the 60 mm must be true
1:1 mag and not FF equivalent, i.e image produced is really at 1:2. The
nomenclature is confusing and Oly didn't make it any better by often citing the
FF equivalent magnification but the image is a crop.
Not too close, Mike
