Thanks Frank. 
Interesting that it might be used together with the OM system. Problem is it´s 
a 55mm thread right? I think I would need the 49 mm A-macro converter for 
IS-1/IS-1000 to fit my 75-150/4 zoom. Since the diffuser is fitted directly on 
the macro converter I suppose it would not work if attached to the built-in 
flash due to the specific flash operation of the IS cameras (non-TTL?). 
The price here for a new converter macro B is 945 SKR (about 116 USD). This is 
less than two thirds of the price for the wide and tele converters (which is 
about 1500 SKR). I believe in US this macro converter costs more than the wide 
and tele converters. I think I better hurry before they raise it...
