Useful post, thanks. I must say, I don't agree that your crab spider is crap. I prefer a macro prime to using a tele or zoom. Until recently that was the 45mm PanyLeica. Haven't had time to properly play with the 60mm yet. I usually use flash to get a small aperture, so greater DOF.

I agree with the macro prime option it simplifies things , and i like simple , I also recently moved from the 45mm macro to the 60mm mainly for the extra working distance, though both are very good

GH3+60mm
