Actually, there are two versions of the 65-116mm extension tube - one has
markings for the 80mm and 135mm macros, the second has these plus markings
for the 20mm and 38mm macros as well. Not a lot of people know that
......... :)
All Zuiko macros seem to have an excellent reputation but the 20mm and 38mm
seem very difficult to find. I've been looking for a 38mm/f2.8 (the elusive
auto version) for some time.
