Joey, welcome to The List.
I don't do much close-up stuff, but I have found that ripping out the
insides of a cheap teleconverter has provided me with an easy and cheap
extension tube. I use this with my 85/2, but I am sure that it will work
just as well with a 50/1.8 (with less magnification.
But there are brainy types on the List who will tell you more of the
magnification and exposure stuff.
What's the Olympus Exchange by the way? I'm British, you see.
Chris
