Pros: It is a good lens, perfectly sharp already at full aperture and without problems of chromatic aberration.

Cons: Being 30 mm of focal length, at RR 1:1 the subject is located a few centimeters from the lens, which poses some lighting problems both with flash and with continuous light rings. For the same reason distance is not ideal for shooting live subjects.

Opinion: Especially for macro to flora this is an excellent lens in optical quality and ease of use. The AF with Lumix G9 and Gx9 is satisfactory, not very fast being a macro, but it locks well and the precision is impeccable. For artificial lighting at minimum focusing distance, with flash you can remedy well by applying a diffuser (I use it at the tip of the lens). With a continuous light ring (useful for macro in focus bracketing), right at a minimum distance and for a couple of cm in retraction, it is necessary not to fix the ring on the thread of the lens, but to pierce it for a few cm on the lens itself. Otherwise the lens performs very well even for non-macro use in the context of a 30mm F2.8 focal length in MFT.

Pros: Light, pretty cheap, quiet in focus. The barrel doesn't get longer. He's got the bag. On Panasonic machine bodies is stabilized at the lens level. Get to report 1:1

Cons: It lacks the scale of distances and enlargements. It does not have a lens hood to outfit.

Opinion: It is very good for the macro "from campaign" or however when it does not serve a scale of distances and enlargements. The mechanical and optical quality are good. I use it on an Olympus E-M10 II, both for generic macros, maybe on the fly, of household objects, flowers and whatnot, both for playback of 35mm slides. For this use, very particular to tell the truth, horsemanship in front of the lens, by means of an adaptation ring, a Hama slide holder. The results are satisfactory. In Reality it is not only a macro lens: its focal length, equivalent to 60 mm on full-frame, makes it suitable also for general use, both for landscape and for photos of Stada, and for portrait. It is a lens to do that has the only defect of a brightness not very high and a length of barrel designed for macro, so a little ' greater than usual.

Pros: clear, excellent colors stabilization very effective, low cost.

Cons: for me nothing

Opinion: I'm very happy with this lens; in the use macro makes pleasant colors, has a very effective stabilizer, I also use it for videos with good results the double stabilization: body more objective even in video works very effectively, definitely a nice way to approach macro photography without spending high figures .

Pros: Sharpness, chromatic correction, field correction, manual use, Macro, sufficient brightness, weight, dimensions

Cons: auto focus not always precise, no tropicalized, no haze, flare, stabilizer

Opinion: There are few things to say about this lens.rnTo take advantage of the dual stabilization on Panasonic machine bodies you have to upgrade with firmware 1.1 to climb and Dual IS2 from firmware version 1.2.rnThe optical stabilizer performs its function but with firmware 1.1 i do not has left completely satisfied (other products make much better) but since the release of the firmware 1.2 things have improved. rnThick incisiveness, chromaticity in all its shapes, crisp and offers a well laid out field without any distortion of the image. The macro function (1: 1) is really exploitable, subject to one centimeter of the lens being focused without problems but I can focus even when the subject hits the lens I have protected with a neutral filter.rn Applied to the Panasonic GX80 car body knows some hardness and slowness of the Auto Focus in the sense that often more efforts are needed to be able to reach the fire that once found is perfect (front / rear focus absent) .rn I also want to be lThis is the only optic I possess that has this behavior (Sigma 60mm F2.8 works better, for example). rn My impression is that since the GX80 is coming out of the box, there may be a form of non-perfect implementation the two units in fact with the firmware 1.2 seems to behave better but it is still "not perfect" from this point of view. The absence of tropicalization is a pity, but the weight and the total size contained make it go in the background I'm also looking at the great handling and "enjoyability" of using it in a manual way. My sample suffers from flare in backlight and / or light shining that I brilliantly solved using a rubber hood. The shots made with this optic, considering also l 'current commercial value, they are almost "magic." Ideal for those who want to get closer to MACRO photography without engaging very economically but not just. rnPiaceable in every respect, building and mate includedi.rn

Pros: construction, ring, auto focus speed, sharpness, aperture

Cons: a little 'small but I have not understood whether it is good or bad

Opinion: I'm using it as a fixed video in any situation .. .. and is giving me a lot of satisfaction for now .. is a little gem .. gimbal mounted on the autofocus seems very precise and smooth in position .. even indoors under lights difficult .. sharpness hit me .. affects quite a lot and the detail is amazing .. the focus manually to close with any type of light is excellent .. is a bit 'small but looks pretty solid .. the stabilizer does not off .. there is the key. I have not yet figured out if you can do it but I do not think .. cmq allows you to use the lens on many occasions .. use it for video is a bit 'strange I know .. but so far the experiment is extolling me .. vote 9
