Leica 45mm vs Olympus 60mm for (super) macro video on GH4

2 posts
  1. Since the GH4 has a 2.34x crop in 4k mode, it seems like there would be some advantage to using the 45mm over the 60mm for macro shooting. The 45mm already acts like a 105mm on full frame, which is about as tight as you'd want to go. The 60mm, meanwhile, acts like a 140mm lens, which is much more limiting, I would think.

     

    The other advantage the 45mm has is the O.I.S., which should come in handy with video.

     

    Are there any benefits to using the Olympus 60mm for video?

  2. There is another thread from Peter he has now moved on to the 14-42 lens with diopter. Going on a dive with just one focal length is very specific
