The closest focusing distance is 3 inches/77mm!! I find that pretty amazing. Compared to the 35L with its MFD @ 1 foot, that's a pretty massive difference which would open doors for some VERY creative and interesting shots.

Wow, it's been sitting on their site like that for so long and nobody called it. It is such a shocking piece of information. It is hard to believe though, now that I think about it. But if it is true, it is pretty revolutionary.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 mkII | 7-14mm f/2.8 | 12-100mm f/4 | 40-150mm f/2.8 | 25mm f/1.2 | 20mm f/1.7 | Lensbaby Velvet 56 | Lensbaby Burnside 35 (Canon EOS mount) | Zeiss 25mm f/2 (Canon EOS mount) | (Formerly Canon 5DC, 40D, 5D2...)

It's true...you can take a photo of the dust on the rear element. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here
