Very very good lens - same shot cropped. Magnification focus at 1:5, lens capable of 1:1.

Really beautiful work here. You are correct that lens is quite sharp and being hooked up with that awesome Olympus body makes for a potent duo. You are courageous shooting macros while hand holding the equipment. Well done.

I actually know very little about macro photography. Irix has a Pentax K mount, but i went with the canon mount due to Fotga has a $23 dumb adapter for canon to M43, but not Pentax, that has built in aperture blades that allows for stopping down. Otherwise, the lens aperture system is controlled by the camera electronically.

Regarding handheld the Oly stabalization is second to none.
