No complaints.

I'm using this lens to take pictures of food, gadgets and toys. At this price I cannot fault it at all. Build quality is excellent - lens barrel is made of metal and the focus ring is made of hard plastic (instead of the grippy plastic you can find on most other m4/3 lens) so it has a premium feel to it. Yet it is very small and very light (only 125g).

Obviously if you want to take pictures of insects and moving objects outdoor the Olympus 60mm Macro will be more suited for you, but if you are like me, then this lens will not disappoint.

Original post says "Review of Panasonic Lumix G Macro 30mm F2.8 ASPH Mega OIS"

So not really that confusing.

Just saying it's 180g, not 125g. Still light for such a lens. It is an awesome lens, there's nothing it can't cope with, except rainy or very dusty weather that's its one fault.

I’m very happy with mine, too!
