I added a 15mm extension tube to allow the closer focus.

It reminds me of a sunset. I focused on the thicker E string. I&#8217;m going to have fun using this lens. I just wish the EP2 would have the magnified view when focusing manual lenses as it&#8217;s quite a challenge to focus using the screen at 100%.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bargh.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/guitar_450.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1695\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"https:\/\/bargh.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/guitar_450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve followed my photo365 you will know I&#8217;m a fan of shallow focus, and bolting things on the front of a camera that weren&#8217;t designed to be bolted on.
