Optimized for close-up shooting, the Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. from Panasonic is a short-telephoto, 90mm equivalent prime for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Designed to strict tolerances in collaboration with Leica, this lens's optical design makes use of aspherical and extra-low dispersion glass elements to reduce aberrations and distortion for notable sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy. Multi-coated elements also contribute to a reduction in lens flare and a floating elements system helps to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range. As a macro lens, a maximum magnification of 1:1 is possible for life-size rendering, along with a minimum focusing distance of 5.9" for working with close-up subjects. An internal focusing mechanism maintains the overall length of the lens during use and MEGA O.I.S. is also featured to reduce the appearance of camera shake when shooting handheld.

Unfortunately, this lens would not fit on Leica CL which uses the Leica L mount. This lens is for the Micro 4/3 mount cameras like a Panasonic GH5.

question

Why is this lens more than double the price of the Panasonic Lumix G Macro 30mm f/2.8 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. Lens ??? Where's the difference besides the 10mm?
Asked by: Joe
This lens is more expensive based on the Leica glass used in it and since there is both one ED lens element, one aspherical element and a multi-layer coating. It also offers a full and limit control for the autofocus depending which is used depending on the distance of the subject. The Lumix G Macro 30mm f/2.8 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. Lens only has one aspherical element along with a multi-layer coating and lacks the focus control.
