  1. trade/upgrade to the 60mm/2.4. I get compact size, versatility, everything, for very little $... except I get 1:2 (which is probably fine most of the time)

The MCEX-16 macro extension can get you to .76 magnification with the 60m 2.4.

This lens is versatile, I use mine for family portraits and its good for studio work and maybe some casual macro work.

The drawback are that its not fast in operation, and doesn't really cut it for serious macro work in terms of magnification or working distance.

The upcoming 80mm macro will be much better for serious macro work but it will also be enormous in size.
