Optical super but getting used to

A macro lens with an effective focal length of 90 mm and a maximum aperture of 2.8 in this small size and so lightweight is already a sensation in itself. At a Lumix GH-1, the lens works very well. The autofocus will work reasonably well even at minimum focus distances. (Although some reviews say the opposite) If we use the Live View viewfinder manual focusing is a breeze. Precise and simple, as a sharp and bright viewfinder image is present. Since owners can only dream of conventional SLRs.
The imaging performance is professional league. Sharp, high contrast, no bleed. The initial aperture of 2.8 results in a wonderful small depth of field in macro and is also well suited for portraits for cropping. Thanks to the optical image stabilizer and AF also freehand Macros succeed surprisingly well.
Another plus point is that nothing moves when focusing the lens exterior! No rotating front lens, the lens is always the same length. This is very handy especially when using a ring flash.
The optical image stabilizer can be disabled for tripod operation. The focus can be restricted for non-macros, which speeds up the focusing.
Getting used to, however, is the adjustment ring for manual focusing. Since by-wire is set lacks the tactile impression, in which focal range, the lens is straight. After a Eingwöhnungszeit is but actually not really a problem more.
The price is not a bargain, but you get a quality most significant macro lens that is also ideally suited for portraits and for available-light shooting. Who here saves when shopping on price, ultimately spends more money. Once the low part to tease and throw it away and then again for the right part
