I have 2 questions for you guys.

1) What is THE best Macro lens for the GH2? The equivalent or superior to a Canon 100/2.8L IS v2 in quality. I consider that the best for Canon.

2) What is the best bang4buck Macro lens for GH2? I think the Tokina 30 and 100 are great alternatives for Canon dSLR macros. Something similar for Panny?

Mainly for video and less for stills. If you have any examples, that would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
here's a quick hand-held shot from a few weeks ago with the Leica Lumix DG Macro 45 f2.8. Being that it's native m4/3 with OIS is a +

 
Panasonic/Leica 45/2.8. IMO, also the best bang-per-buck if you want a dedicated macro lens.

An alternative would be a used legacy Micro-Nikkor 55/2.8, which is simply an incredible lens (albeit all manual on m43).

The ABSOLUTE best bang-for-the-buck is to take the best lens you currently have and attach some extension rings or closeup diopters (available from +1 to +10), or reverse a lens like the 20/1.7 - http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24666
