Olympus omd m1 II focus issue

Hi all,

I started last summer with new named above Olympus and 60 Macro objective. I got some good results with sharpness up to aperture 14. With 16 and more I have the problem that the pictures were not really sharp. Do you have some hints for me? I work with one focus point, and would need some advices here (for macro). Additional I use a macro lence with 10 diopters.

Many thanks!

On m4/3 with f/16, you're running into diffraction limits. There is a large number of articles explaining the subject, here's one for example: https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/diffraction-photography.htm

Thanks!

Also don't forget the crop factor also applies to Depth of field. At f8, you get the same depth of field as you would with f16 on a full frame camera, with the same framing. I mostly stick with f8 for my macro shots.

cool, thanks that helps. I look a lot to shots in facebook and the aperture which was used, but that is often not comparable ....
