Re: The Panny f4-5.6 45-175mm in action

It's a lens I like a lot too, both with and without a Raynox dioptre attached. It's nice and compact for use on my GM1, as well as serving as a macro lens alternative on my GX7. I think the last time I looked at my Lightroom catalogue it was my most used lens.

Actually, you've reminded me that I should pick up a 46-43 step down ring. I only had a 46-37mm, and have to stack a couple more to get back up to the 43mm thread of the Raynox.

The only thing I don't like about mine is that the focus ring is rather stiff. It's not great for precise manual focus and takes quite a firm grip to turn it, rather than being able to adjust it with one finger.
