The IS-3 close-up lens (f=40cm) has a filter thread mount of 55mm.
Both the IS1/2 close up lenses (f=40cm and f=13cm for 'life-size')
have a 49mm thread.
All three achromate lenses perform very well, not only on the
IS-cameras which they are meant for, but also on OM-system Zuikos.

I have a few spares of these lenses which I might sell to anyone
interested on the list. Prices range from $65 for the IS1/2 f=40cm
type to $80 for the life-size (f=13cm) one and  $95 for the IS-3 type.

All are exc++ or better.

If interested contact me off-line.

Frank van Lindert.
