is the only dedicated native macro lens for 4/3rds the Zuiko 35mm? http://www.ke.olympus-mea.com/site/en/c/lenses/digital_slr_lenses/standard_lenses/zuiko_digital_35mm_135_macro/index.html lightweight, fairly affordable

thing is the thing is AF, and is reputed slow on Olympus, nevermind adapted for Micro43-macro

last month these caught my eye; 2 Leica Accessory Close Up Lenses 2* Cat. ELPIK 3* Cat. ELPET, for 10gbp each

tho without a lens to fit them to, i bought them [as you do] and i have the *1 on the way as well, boxed, for 5.99gbp

some weird 19mm size thread; they seem to only fit short Elmars, both the 50mm and 35mm

so i got one: Leitz Leica 35mm 1:3.5 Elmar Coated Lens 1933 http://i.imgur.com/VADhPPU.jpg?1

coated, the classic street-shooter

the *2 filter http://i.imgur.com/doPRN6h.jpg?2

the *3 [strongest] filter http://i.imgur.com/GLRAUcg.jpg?1

i also picked up an extension-tube:

EDIT perhaps a kind mode could move this post to my other thread of the same name, sorry 'bout that
