First Venus 60mm review (comes in MFT mount too).

Macro “guru” Thomas Shahan got his hands on the brand new Venus 60mm f/2.8 2:1 Ultra-Macro Lens. On the video above he tests the Nikon mount version but the lens also comes for MFT. It is the World’s First 2:1 Magnification Lens with Infinity Focus. Thomas impressions is:

 I am amazed by the amount of detail I can pull out of this lens. I can focus on anything from a landscape to a portrait, down to a detail, down to a portrait of a jumping spider.

The lens will be on sale soon on [shoplink 51077 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
