Panasonic Lumix G Macro 30mm F2.8

This Panasonic Lumix G Macro lens is a prime optic for Micro Four Thirds cameras, built for close-up photography with a 30mm focal length and a maximum aperture of F2.8. It delivers 1.0x magnification, which equals 2.0x in 35mm camera equivalent terms, for detailed life-size reproduction. The lens features MEGA O.I.S. optical image stabilisation and a 240fps drive autofocus system for quick, precise focusing. High descriptiveness is maintained corner to corner alongside beautiful bokeh expression.

Suited to macro photographers needing 1.0x

Photographers who require a zoom focal range or a wider maximum aperture should consider other lenses, as this is a fixed 30mm prime stopped at F2.8. Users needing autofocus speeds beyond the 240fps drive specification or those shooting on non-Micro Four Thirds mounts will find this lens incompatible. It is also not intended for general-purpose wide-angle or telephoto work.

1.0x macro magnification at 30mm focal length

The defining specification is the 1.0x magnification at 30mm, providing 2.0x equivalent magnification on a 35mm format for true life-size close-ups. This magnification level, combined with the F2.8 aperture and MEGA O.I.S. stabilisation, determines whether the lens meets the specific close-up requirements of the user. The 240fps drive AF supports this macro performance with responsive focusing.

Questions about this item

Does this 30mm F2.8 macro lens require a Micro Four Thirds camera body to mount and operate?

Yes, the lens uses the Micro Four Thirds mount so it attaches directly to any MFT camera body without an adapter.

Will the 240fps drive AF and MEGA O.I.S. function properly on an older Micro Four Thirds body that predates 240fps communication?

The lens will mount and focus, but the 240fps AF drive speed and optical stabilisation rely on the body supporting that communication rate; older bodies may fall back to slower AF and no lens-based stabilisation.

How can I verify that the 1.0x magnification and 2.0x 35mm-equivalent magnification are being achieved after setup?

Focus at the minimum focus distance and photograph a ruler; if 1 mm on the ruler spans 1 mm on the Micro Four Thirds sensor you have reached 1.0x, which corresponds to the stated 2.0x full-frame equivalent.
