Macro Lens for GH4

Hi.

I've been trying to research macro lenses for a GH4 on line. I'll spot macro lenses that say they are for micro four thirds but then will specify a line of cameras other than the GH4.

Wondering if anyone can recommend a macro lens that will work on the GH4.

For what it's worth, I want to be able to film insects -that is pretty small subjects - and that at a comfortable, non-intrusive distance - if that's possible.

If a powerful enough macro for my purposes is hard to find for this camera, can anyone recommend an attachable close-up filter/lens?

I have a 72 mm Canon 500D, got a step down ring and tried that on my Olympus M Zuiko 12-40. but it offers only a tiny bit of extra magnification (at closest zoom 47 v.s. 43 mm in width).

Only advantage to an add-on, close-up filter/lens is not exosing the sensor when filming outdoors in sometimes dusty conditions.

Thanks

John
