Ermmmmmmmm........... No 3 is the only one that doesn't look sharp to me ?

Andreas is the man to answer this question because I know he has used macro lenses on his Pro 1, I don't know if he had any problems.

I have used the Canon Macro lens on the G6 and it had to be focused manually for consistent results. It threw all the markings out too so I couldn't rely on setting it to say 10" and then placing a subject 10" away and it be in focus,  it could be anything, I had to work purely visually. The depth of field was generally very shallow too so focussing was critical.

Once I got used to this results were good.

Hope this helps

We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
