Macro-objectief Panasonic Lumix G Macro 30mm F2.8 ASPH MEGA O.I.S.

Panasonic Lumix G Macro 30mm F2.8 ASPH MEGA O.I.S. is a compact macro lens for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mirrorless cameras, providing a 60mm equivalent focal length on 35mm format and a bright F2.8 aperture. With a 9-element/9-group optical design, MEGA O.I.S. stabilization and a minimum focusing distance of 0.105 m, this lens is engineered to capture fine details with up to 2x magnification in a small, lightweight body (0.18 kg).

Advantages

The lens combines true macro capability (maximum magnification 2:1) with optical image stabilization (MEGA O.I.S.) to reduce blur at close distances. Its compact dimensions (approximately 63.5 mm length, 58.8 mm diameter) and lightweight construction make it convenient for handheld shooting. The F2.8 maximum aperture allows subject isolation and improved low-light performance for close-up work.

Suitable for

• Close-up and macro photography of small subjects (insects, flowers, product details)
• Studio and tabletop macro work where high magnification and sharp detail are required
• Handheld shooting using stabilization for reduced motion blur
• Photographers using Micro Four Thirds (MFT) / Panasonic Lumix G cameras

How to use

Mount the Panasonic Lumix G Macro 30mm F2.8 on a compatible MFT camera body and set the camera to a macro or manual focus mode for precise control. Work at the lens’s minimum focusing distance to achieve high magnification; use live view and focus peaking or magnified live view for accurate focus. When possible, enable MEGA O.I.S. and use a steady stance or tripod to minimize motion blur. Adjust aperture to control depth of field—smaller apertures increase depth of field but may require higher ISO or slower shutter speeds.

Recommendations

The lens is best used for detailed close-up work: stabilize the camera for the sharpest results, use manual focus aids for precise focus, and choose aperture settings based on the desired depth of field and available light.
