Got to play with the 90mm in Roatan (CoCo View) for the past 2 weeks (e-m10 mkIV). Really appreciated the flexibility of the lens from a critter distance perspective when compared to the 60mm.

Visibility was atrocious the first week and only marginally improved the second week.

The 90 is a terrific lens, and Nauticam did an outstanding job with the port. It’s such a pleasing combination to work with.
 
Gorgeous. I would love to spend a few weeks there with a macro set up

Compared to the 60 mm how much further away can you get with the 90 mm (say for example on that last nudibranch?)
 
I highly recommend putting these in an iNaturalist account as well for exotic shots of cool species, with excellent location features, community identifications, "faves" (likes), etc 👏🏻

The MFT 90mm is indeed nice for getting a bit more working distance for high magnification captures. It can be taxing acquiring and following subjects though, and definitely don't try it for "blackwater" unless you're masochistic!

The 90mm seemed to have a bit more trouble with autofocus at short working distances, compared to other lenses. Unless it's just the one I was using. Frequent excessive and exaggerated focus hunting, despite obvious subjects and the range limiter 😱 It was so prone to this that I resorted to doing focus bracketing instead a few times, or just using it in manual focus mode. Anyone else notice this?
