I have asked something like this before, but this is ever so slightly different <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

M43 lenses 45 1.8 and 60 2.8 macro.
45 will have shallower DOF (45 divided by 1.8) but 60 can go nearer than 45. Because i can get closer with 60, will it have shallower DOF? I am talking about something like a headshot.
I have never used a macro lens, don't know if focussing is a continuum or there are two separate modes, one for macro and other for general purpose use...
