[quote name='Sebastian']The question of the day is whether to prefer the Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 ED macro over the Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 ASPH OIS?[/quote]
Another option is to buy the Four Thirds Olympus 50/2 with MMF-3, that's what I just did: $290 for a used lens and $110 for a new adapter, ~ the same price as 60/2.8 and probably optically better, plus one stop faster and an adapter "for free". AF speed seems to be the only downside which is hardly a big deal for "macro" use.
