Panasonic Lumix S 100mm f/2.8 Macro

Pros: Pros: Tropicalized, razor-sharp, compact, excellent colors, precise and lightning-fast AF

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I've owned this lens for a couple of months now and I can say it's excellent, almost stratospheric. I have two macro lenses from other brands (the 70mm and the 105mm), but they are not even comparable: this Panasonic is clearly superior in precision, speed and overall performance. Mounted on the Lumix S5M2X it is similar to the 50mm f/1.8. The sharpness is incredible already at full aperture (f/2.8). The color rendering is also superlative: full, natural colors, typical of recent Panasonic production. And in black and white it returns a truly surprising depth and delicacy. The autofocus is a real strength: precise at all distances, it allows you to switch from macro to infinity (and vice versa) without the slightest hesitation in focusing. An added bonus is the physical consistency: the same length and diameter of the filters as other Panasonic S-series lenses (18/24/35/50/85/100) perfect for those who use gimbals or stabilizers, without having to rebalance them every time.
