Is the Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro a true 1:1 macro?

What does the focus limiter do on the Olympus 60mm macro?
It restricts the autofocus range to close or far distances, so the lens does not search through the whole range.

It uses a 46mm thread. If your other lenses use a different size, step-up rings let you share filters.
