Verified Purchase Best Macro Lens for the L mount. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2024 There are plenty on videos online that will provide the detailed/ technical breakdown on what makes this lens so good. I’m really impressed with the whole ‘S’ series prime lenses form Lumix, do not seem get the love they deserve.

I’ve had a few macro lenses over the years for various systems and this one is by far my favourite. It’s razor sharp as you’d expect for a modern macro. The working distance is very reasonable and you can use the camera IBIS to help when stopping down and drop the shutter speed a fair bit. The stand out features for this lens though are the portability and the very usable autofocus. It’s the smallest and lightest macro I’ve owned and the AF is both quick and accurate at all distances, where the others I’ve had with AF have been all but unusable at distances close to minimal focus distance. The great AF performance makes it superb for bugs and insects as well as for still subjects. I’ve only experienced it on an S5 II with phase detect AF so not sure how it would perform on one of the older bodies with contrast only AF. The size and weight are ideal for just throwing it in your bag with other compact/light primes as well so I find I carry it around a lot more often than I would if it was larger and heavier like the Sigma alternative. Would 100% recommend for L-mount.
