Hello everyone,
I have been following the threads regarding the Panasonic/Leica 45mm 2.8 macro and the great images this lens seems to produce(or is it the photographer?)
I really like, as probably many here , Leica glass, I have used both Leica R and M , however, I am not into manual focus anymore, so the the 45 macro
would seem to suit me.
My question is this, if one doesn't shoot macro a lot, would one purchase this(expensive) lens and would this lens be considerably better than for example the Panasonic 14-45.
I have read the review in DPreview (3x) , I have also looked many times at Jono Slack's images, I think they are great.
Are there others here that are contemplating purchasing this lens primarily for other than macro purposes ?
Any suggestions and opinions are greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Peter
