Bill,

For macro work you definitely want either the 2s or 4 or 4T(Ti) (or I guess the 
3Ti if you
have the extra bucks). Trying to figure flash exposures is too difficult and 
cumbersome
without TTL OTF.  I suppose it's why OM introduced it back when they did.  TTL 
OTF is a
godsend for macro work. Either the T10 or T8 or T28 or even the T20 or t32 is 
the way to go.
Of course shooting macro with available or tungsten light can be done with 
about any of the
bodies.  However if you are seriously into macro plan on using TTL OTF.  I 
think that is
where the OM system has little or no competition. I use various 1 series macro 
screens. I
think I've got all of them and I like the 1-12 best.
