At 30mm, the effective focal length is close to that of my trusty old Micro-Nikkor, which is to say it's good if you can get very close to your subject. I'd really like a longer focal length, both to be able to get close ups of subjects that are farther away and for the reduced aberrations that come with increased focal length (Nikon's sharpest lens was the 105 Micro--Nikkor). I image that eventually I'll save my pennies and buy the Olympus or the Leica/Panasonic, but for now I'm very happy with the results I'm getting from this lens.

I do have various close up filters and extension tubes that can be used for macro photography, and enjoy using them, but this is much more convenient as it can focus both close and far away. The instruction sheet says because of the focus range is from around four inches to infinity the lens may focus slower than some. It might, but so far focus speed has been fine.
Pros
Stabilized
Simple
Easy manual focus
Accurate color rendering
Short focal length allows for hand held macro photography
Con
No included lens hood. Which may not matter for macro work but would be nice for general use. A screw in hood will work I'm sure.
Edit: the pictures I attached did not stick for some reason. Sorry. They looked nice. As will yours.

Macro Lenses are a must-have for any product or detail shooter and for MFT this is one of the best Macro's for the price.
Bokeh is great on this lens, and it's fast enough for my needs.
For the price, you will have a really hard time finding a better Macro lens than this one.
Oh, it's also lightweight!
