I have had a G2 for a couple of months and doing some macro photography with my old Pentax macro lens. The results are more successful than when I used the lens on my old Pentax MX, where I often seem to have believed I'd focussed the lens, but had failed miserably to do so.
In the crop of the common darter dragonfly the lens has managed to resolve some detail of the eyes, but only when I set the camera to take RAW images. I have turned down the NR on this image to try to resolve more detail.
The magnification makes the lens more useful for photographing damselflies, which are my primary interest, though a longer focal length would probably be more useful.
