I surprisingly don't see any Oly choices yet and none seem as nice as my OM ones. Kenko has a good rep for Canyon ones but not clear the $180 is warranted for these. Fotga is said to have aluminum but some scattered reports of sloppy machining.

If you are looking for something for the kit lens of the GM1, 20/1.7 and/or Panny 45-150, they would be excellent. And, they are less money, so when lost like a lens cap ...

Between my working Blue Sky set of tubes and the Oly 60/2.8 macro lens, I'm turning the task of buying and testing all the others all over to someone else. :-)

If you are wondering how the 12-32 zoom works with extension, here are a handful of samples. <http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=12436>

Not, of course, much DOF. The 100% sample of the 'beard' shows how much detail is clear at the focal plane, maybe 1/3 from center.

The greater apparent DOF in the first is 'cause it's a casual, two layer stack. I was just bracketing focus, but found I could stack them.

Not much to find fault with.
