Hi Lex,
Found, on ebay, a NOS (new old stock) 135mm Sigma XQ macro for
Olympus. It's a curious beast - the front lens screws out further to
give 1:3 ratio, probably by reducing focal length. 4 lenses in
separate groups. Scales for subject area dimensions down to 1:12
somewhat poorly attached.
Time to do some testing.
