Panasonic 45mm f/2.8 Macro Leica D Vario-Elmar Micro Four Thirds

Panasonic 45mm f/2.8 Macro Leica D Vario-Elmar Verdict

At first, the £560 price tag may seem a little on the high side, but when the excellent performance and features included are taken into consideration, this lens represents a very good buy for Micro Four Thirds camera owners after a dedicated macro lens.

Sharpness is excellent from maximum aperture, the optical stabilisation works well and it's lightweight and compact too.

This lightweight, compact lens offers excellent sharpness levels, has a fast internal focus and is good value for money.
