Macro Lens Kit.

Excellent deal! Not only did I receive a macro lens, which I have wanted for years, the lens came with a number of accessories and some nice software programs. The only negative is the software programs continually ask you to upgrade to a more robust program. Wish that would stop.

It's a good lens and it takes good pictures.

I got this lens largely to take macro shots of insects. It does a great job at that, and I like it very much.

Inexpensive macro lens

It is very well made. The body is metal not plastic so it feels like a sturdy build. It is on the heavier side so be careful when putting jt on a smaller body camera. It focused very quickly while taking macro shots. I highly recommend

Lightweight lens is great macro shooter

Superb macro lens. Small, lightweight. Excellent focus time. Nice color rendition. Highly recommended M43 lens. I have used on Panasonic Lumix G1 and Olympus E-PL5.

A good flexible lens for both 1:1 macro and general use.

I prefer studio macro with a tethered camera using bellows, tube lenses, and microscope objectives. Regardless, I was curious about MFT and wanted to test the waters. I purchased an inexpensive Lumix GX85 body and this lens. The configuration is compact and makes for an easy camera system to carry around with. The lens can focus from a 1:1 magnification to infinity making it a flexible all-round lens for my type of use. As far as picture quality, I can't help but compare it to my studio images which is probably unrealistic and unfair. I would compare its sharpness to a reversed EL-Nikkor 50mm f/2.8 enlarging lens on a bellows at 1:1 magnification with a full-frame camera. Good but not great. On the other hand, I am able to carry this camera system with me and get shots I wouldn't have otherwise. I don't regret purchasing this lens. Adorama's service and shipping speed were excellent as well. Thanks!

Good quality lens. Not the fastest, but works as a good all rounder. The ability to have close focus distance is a nice bonus to have.

Excellent macro lens at a bargain price!

Well, this is a very nice lens! Nice and small, looks nice. More importantly, it takes very good macro photos! You can get very close, as a macro lens should let you. Affordable, with high IQ. Hard to knock this lens!

Very nice macro

Nice sharp pictures, reasonably fast, good look. It isn't telephoto though so requires getting pretty close to smaller subjects. Good for close up portraiture too. Very pleased for the price.

Good basic macro and all-around, rendering a bit unexciting

By chance, got this lens just before my grandmother passed away, and my father and I used it to replicate a lot of old photos cemented in a very old album. It worked very well for that. In more general use, I'd say picture quality is a little better than the Sigma 30/2.8; the main lack I feel is compared to the Panasonic 20/1.7, which has richer color and better contrast.

Great little lens

Sharp, flat-field macro lens. I use it heavily with a slide duplication attachment to "scan" slides. This is much faster than using a dedicated slide scanner, and produces very good results. This lens also works well as a reasonably fast, first-rate long "normal" lens for walkabout. Well put together, metal lens mount, etc.

Nice sharp pictures, reasonably fast, good look. It isn't telephoto though so requires getting pretty close to smaller subjects. Good for close up portraiture too. Very pleased for the price.

The lens boasts an impressive closest focusing distance of just 0.105 meters, allowing photographers to get up close and personal with their subjects, capturing the minute details that make macro photography so compelling.

Comprising 9 lenses in 9 groups, including the aspherical lens, this lens system is the epitome of optical excellence and compactness.

MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) is another standout feature, effectively compensating for camera shake to ensure sharp, blur-free images even in challenging shooting conditions. This stabilization is especially beneficial in macro photography, where even the slightest movement can impact the clarity of the image.

Compatible with a wide range of Lumix cameras, including the DC-GH5, DC-GX850, DC-G85, DC-G85K, DC-GX85, DC-GX8, DC-G7, DC-GF7K, DC-GM5K, and DC-GH4, this lens is a reliable choice for photographers looking to expand their creative capabilities with a Micro Four Thirds system.
