Pair the 85/2 with a 14mm tube and you have a great poor man's macro. I
suppose you could use the 100 with tubes too or the 85 with other than
the 14 but for me the 85+14 is great for what I like to shoot.

I've used it in the past with all three Oly tubes: 7mm and 14mm and
25mm. Just used it last night with a Vivitar 36mm tube which is normally
used with the 135mm f/2.8 lens. Allowed magnification _on_film_ of about
2:3 (2/3 life-size) and was able to fill the frame with single african
violet blossoms. Depth of field is miniscule at that magnification.
Lighting Note:
This time instead of using window light during the day I set up a light
stand and used a strobe shooting through a white translucent
umbrella. Light metered at f/11 +1/3 stop. Allowed using f/8 after
correcting for lens extension. Used the lens extension exposure
compensation wheel in Kodak's Master Photoguide.
