I'm sorry Chuck to be the one that seems to be always ending up in your lap.
About the lens issue. I've thoughtr about it often. There is a bias I guess
in favor of bigger is better, lol. But it doesn't really make much sense at
all. I love doing close macro work. The "micro" world holds just as much for
me as the "macro" world does.
But I have my E-500 which has a 35mm macro that I guess could cover that.
But that would be against what I had set up this OM group to cover. If you
had a chance to get 1, maybe 2 OM lenses for close work, what would you get
of quality?
