Re: [OM] front converters (was A-200 teleconverter)

[Dr Peter Gilbert]

I picked up a mint used Nikon 6T closeup lens recently for use on my 
Canon DV camcorder and it is brilliant. Can get full frame closeups 
(say 1cm x 1cm) with good working distance of 10-15cm or so. Lower 
mags at even more working distance.
Downside of the Nikon closeup lenses however is the filter sizes are 
only 52 and 62mm.
I want to try the 6T with a 55-62mm step-up adaptor on my Zuiko 
65-200 zoom in the next week or so (ala John Shaw). It is spring down 
here at the moment and the flowers are all in bloom.
Oh - in case any of you were worried - I've warned my OM bodies and 
Zuikos not to fraternise with the Canon and Nikon gear. They might 
pick up some nasty habits !!!
