Hi guys, I've always been looking to purchase a macro lens because I love shooting close-ups of textures and plants, but on full frame they've always been a bit too big. So now I've got a GH4, I'm keep to cash in on the more affordable and more compact macro lenses for m4/3. But the question is, which of the 3 macro lenses?

Panny-Leica 45mm is too expensive so that just leaves the 30mm and the Olympus 60mm. Which would be better on a GH4 body? The new 30mm is also currently on sale; only $320, but is the Olympus still better for $200 more?

 

I couldn't find it at that price.

All dealers I saw had it listed at 397, same on eBay.

shop.panasonic.com shows backordered at 399.99.
