100mm macro review by AP: “I’d buy one in a heartbeat”

Amateur Photographer reviewed the new 100mm macro lens and concluded:

Overall, the Lumix S 100mm F2.8 Macro is a fantastic lens from Panasonic that completely redefines what a short telephoto macro can look like. It’s just so much easier to drop into your bag and carry around with you than any comparable optic, and there’s no obvious compromise in terms of optical quality. If I were an L-mount user, I’d buy one in a heartbeat.

Lumix 100mm macro size comparison with Canon and Sony macros…impressive!

Thanks to CameraSize we can now compare the size between similar macro lenses. This visualizes the impressive work done by Panasonic engineers when designing the new 100mm macro lens!

And this is the spec comparison via BHphoto comparison tool:

As you can see the Panasonic is the lightest, most compact and also the most affordable lens of the three! And when I see it’s lightest it’s less than half the weight of the competitors!
