This combination doesn't vignette at all, contrary to what Vivitars and
Tele-Plus's (MC7) do. It really works well. Why Olympus never mentions this
is a mystery. Maybe their demands are set so high, I guess it's in the line
of other recommendations as "extension tubes on 50 and 90 mm macrolenses are
not as good as the true 80 mm macrolens". While that may be oh so true, it
doesn't say that the extension tube solutions also give very good results.
