The magnification of the lens is 1:10, a 0.1x . Doesn't that make it somewhat low magnification? I was looking, and noticed oly 45mm 1.8 suffers from similar thing, whilst the new panny 42.5 f1.7 boasts 1:5 / 0.2x

Is low low magnification a non issue, even for close-ups?

Yes, you can fill the frame almost entirely with a face. But sometimes you want to get closer still, but the lens won't let you. This is where the 60mn macro or the PRO zooms can take over.
