    I use this lens mor than I thought I would!4.0/5

    I use this lens mor than I thought I would! This is a very sharp lens! Great colors, very light weight, like many of the MF3ds lens's. Pretty nice portrait len's just a tad soft in the corners at 2.8, but can be fixed in post if needed or cropped out. This lens has one problem, focus. It's slower than most MF3rds lens's i have used and hunts a little in low light, even at f2.8. Kind of pricey, but I'm keeping mine, I mostly manual focus anyhow, and you can get some unusual shots for video with the macro capabilities. Produces very nice video and stills on my GH3

    KILLER MACRO LENS W/ Stabilization5.0/5

    KILLER MACRO LENS W/ Stabilization Incredibly sharp image. Great depth of field. And the stabilization is excellent on my GH5. I prefer this over the canon 100mm macro and the Olympus.

    Great lens .. Best macro lens for micro four thirds…period!
