I've been missing a dedicated macro lens for my m4/3rd system since the start. Although the Panasonic 45 f/2.8 macro lens might be very good, it was just too shrt for my taste. Equivelent to 90mm on full frame cameras, my past eqperience with this focal length didn't suite me at all. My favourite macro lens of all time is the Sigma 150 f/2.8 lens. Simply superb, but too heavy using an adapter for this system, and it came in a Canon EF mount which restricts the use somewhat.

So after some time thinking about if I needed this lens, I purchased it with the intention of using it also for portraiture. I just prefer the longer focal lengths for this. Lets see how things go.

In the above image you can see what it looks like on the OM-D with the handgrip in place as well.

It was taken with the Fujifilm X-E1 (what else) and an old Nikon 100 f/2.8 lens. The lens cost me next to nothing and just look how sharp it is.
