RE: [OM] macro

[Hans van Veluwen]

:Another beginer question. Is there any possibility of doing 
:decent macro 
:photography without selling the car to get a lens?

There are several el-cheapo possibilities: 1) single-element close-up lenses
2) extension tubes 3) reversal adapters (mount a lens in reverse directly to
the body) 4) reversal rings (mount two lenses vis-a-vis together) 5)
teleconverters 6) macro converters (combined teleconverter and extension
ring)

Not too expensive either are: 1) (off-brand) bellows 2) multi-element
close-up lenses

Still affordable is the 50mm/F3.5 macro.
