The Olympus SHG (Super High Grade) lenses offer reference-grade performance for Micro Four Thirds and Four Thirds cameras, like the Olympus OM-D E-M5.

I pitted the Olympus 35-100mm f/2 ED against the new and much smaller Olympus 60mm f/2.8 ED Macro.

An f/2.8 macro lens at close range (for which it is optimized) should easily outperform a 35-100mm f/2 zoom lens, right?

B&H Photo carries both the 60mm f/2.8 ED macro and SHG 35-100mm f/2 ED.
