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.

It's a major camera retailer in Australia. Anyway, I just purchased it, but haven't really been able to try it (it's dark right now). But I'll post some stuff, and maybe even a proper review in the coming days.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
