I use the Canon 8-15mm now on MFT, with Oly EM1II. I find it a perfect lens for MFT, as I get 180° at 8mm and can zoom in all the way to 15mm (comparable to 30mm with FF) for more working distance when photographing smaller and more shy subjects...

that's an interesting application in the faux macro realm. What did it take in terms of lens adapters and port extensions to work? Using the 4.33 type dome, or something bigger?

=> On Nauticam housing, It requires a Metabones 1x Smart adapter, a Nauticam 34.7mm N85/N120 extension, a 35nn N120 extension and a Nauticam 140 domeport (I have also tested Zen DP100 or DP170, they both give also nice results). See the postings here for more dteails:

My GH4 system is likely to antequated to get a buyer willing to pay as much as it's worth for me to keep, and I harbor hopes that the GH6 will be worthwhile to reuse the ports on. Setting it up for semi macro while still wide is a nice compromise and big step up from the g7x compact which is never that wide.
