That's weird. Just set 60/2.8 to 1:1, and working distance is ~3.25 in.

Yes, it is weird.  Pulled those numbers from reviews--not clear if the "S 
macro" switch was engaged--suspect much shorter FL with that switch set.  
People describe hearing lens elements moving around.  It seems the 1:1 setting  
on the 60 mm must be true
1:1 mag and not FF equivalent, i.e image produced is really at 1:2.  The 
nomenclature is confusing and Oly didn't make it any better by often citing the 
FF equivalent magnification but the image is a crop. 


Not too close, Mike
