The Lumix G Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 Aspherical Lens stands as a pinnacle of precision engineering, offering photographers a high-quality, innovative, and versatile tool for capturing the world in stunning detail. As the world's first Leica lens designed specifically for the Micro Four Thirds system, it boasts a compact form factor without compromising on the exceptional image quality synonymous with the Leica brand.This lens is a true work of optical artistry, featuring an advanced aspherical lens element and an Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lens that work in harmony to reduce chromatic aberration and distortion across the entire image.

Whether you're capturing the intricate details of a flower in macro photography or the nuanced expressions of a portrait subject, this lens delivers reliable and durable performance.Panasonic's MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) is a standout feature, effectively reducing the blur caused by camera shake. This technology is particularly beneficial for handheld macro photography, allowing you to achieve crisp images even in challenging lighting conditions without the need for a tripod.The lens's inner focus motor system is engineered for smooth and silent operation, making it an excellent choice for both still photography and video recording. The versatility of this lens is further enhanced by its ability to switch the minimum focus distance from 150mm to 500mm with a simple flip of a switch on the lens barrel, providing flexibility for close-up work or when more reach is needed.Boasting a seven-blade circular aperture, the lens creates a beautifully smooth bokeh effect, adding an artistic touch to your images with a pleasing background blur. The robust metal mount underscores the lens's durability, while the multi-coated lens elements minimize glare and maximize optical performance.Compatible with a wide range of Panasonic Lumix G Series Micro Four Thirds cameras, the Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 lens supports the advanced contrast Auto Focus (AF) system, including Panasonic's Face Recognition functions, ensuring that your subjects are captured with precision and clarity.Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiast looking to expand your creative horizons, the Lumix G Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 Aspherical Lens is a reliable and high-performing addition to your photographic toolkit, enabling you to capture the world with unparalleled sharpness and clarity.

I use my Lumix G9 camera exclusively these days, and I do primarily nature photography and a little general shooting. I use two Lumix zoom telephotos. I consider myself to be an experienced (not advanced) amateur photographer and photography is my retirement hobby. There have been many times that I wished I had a macro lens. I decided to purchase the Panasonic Leica Macro Elmarit 45mm F/2.8 lens and so far I don't regret buying it. I have done a lot of testing and experimenting so far to get familiar with using a macro lens. One thing that I quickly learned is holding the camera perfectly still is the key to success(use a tripod or monopod when necessary). The lens functions well and professional reviewers claim it excels from F/4 to 5.6. Depth of field is often critical with many macro shots. I like the O.I.S. switch and focus limit switch provided with the lens. The focus ring is rubber coated and the lens is Japanese made. Good build quality. Recommended.

Great, high quality macro lens

I use it a lot. Makes me look like a much better photographer than I am. I plan to buy more Leica lenses if I can

Love this lens.

I bought this because I'd already started taking pictures of every flower I came across, so the leap to full 1:1 macro seemed natural. Since then, it's spent entire days fixed on my camera. I love it. It's relatively heavy for a Micro 4/3 lens, but that's because of all the good glass in there. The pictures are sharp, I've never noticed any CA, and it definitely lets me get close. It also doubles as a convenient 90mm-equivalent length portrait lens - great for pics of friends or candid street shots.

Making the world pop one macro shot at a time

The lens would not focus and had to be returned for a refund.

Quality Control Missing

it is a very good lense for  close up photography

don't judge judge by looking

I take photographs as a hobby (posting to several online photo-sharing sites) and wanted a macro lens for my Lumix GF3.  So far, I'm very pleased with the quality of the shots I've taken with this lens--very good detail and color.  It is extremely light--in fact when I received the package, I thought the box was empty!  I have no complaints at all, except for the price (it was expensive).

Great Macro Lens

I put this lens on an Olympus EM-5 and shoot away.  The lens has wonderful contrast, beautiful bokeh, lovely color rendition, and focuses fast.  With an angle of view comparable to a 90mm on a full frame camera, I can get close-up to skittish subjects with out getting too physically close.  I don't know why this lens seems to be overlooked by many pros, it's my most useful lens.  I love it!

My Favourite Macro Lens EVER!

I love macro photography, and this lens is very useful, in that one can quickly move from macro to landscape photography.

Love it

I use this lens on my Panasonic G3. For a short telephoto lens it is small and light. It also feels good in the hand, like all the pieces fit together tightly and well. But I am most impressed with the image quality.

An amazing little mu 4/3 lens

Bought for my GH2. Image-wise I would give 5 stars but taking off one as the AF is less snappy in some close focus situations. Beautiful Leica-like bokeh and tack sharp. Perfect double duty portrait and macro. Image stabilization makes handheld macro easy. Manual focus by wire is responsive and works well for very small and fussy macro subjects especially when on a tripod. Might cost more than some other M43 lenses at the same focal length but well worth the price.

Great macro and portrait on M43

Great lens for micro four thirds

Bought for a little extra reach on my GF1, this lens tends to stay on the body all the time unless I need a wider view. Focus has a really nice "feel" and it is still reasonably compact.

Outstanding Lens

Lightweight, well-balanced, sharp, great for portraits and macro ie flowers, etc. I love single focal length lenses. While I have the kit zoom lens. My favorite lenses are the 20mm and the reviewed 45mm.
