Hi, I used to have a G7 now have a G9.  For both, I have macro rings (which do pass electrical contacts through, make sure).  They are relatively inexpensive.  Put a 16mm macro ring behind the 42.5mm lens and you can get near 1:1.  Put a 10mm macro ring behind the 15mm lens and 1) you will focus VERY close  and 2) you will likely get beyond 1:1.    I recommend macro rings because they are really inexpensive, compared to anything else you might buy for your hobby.  I have Meike "Automatic Extension Tube Set" MK-P-AF3B, "For Panasonic micro DSLR".   We'll forgive them for calling our cameras DSLRs!
