I was at B&H the other day and saw a display that mentioned they have
reversing rings in 49mm for Olympus (along with every other major system). I
was in a hurry to get to the airport and didn't check the price or
availability, however.
I'm wondering if I might be able to get a stepping ring to work... I'd like
to try it with some > 49mm filter size lenses. I'm thinking the problem I'll
run into is that I'd need a female to female stepping ring, where all the
normal rings would be male to female or vice versa.
