Hi Ian,
I personally like the Tamron 90mm/2.5 adaptall 2 lens. If you get the
different adapters you can use it with both cameras. It runs in the
neighborhood of $200 give or take, depending on your luck and patience. Of
course, you have to allow for the condition of the lens as well. There is
also a 2X that mates to this lens.

Hi there,
My name is Ian Larkin, I live in Cambridgeshire, England, and I am an
enthusiastic macro photographer.
At present, I am trying to find a good lens for photographing butterflies
and dragonflies, for either an Olympus OM or a Canon EOS camera.
My budget does not extend to the Canon 180 f/3.5 L, but I am keen to find
a high-quality alternative, preferably second-hand.
I have in mind a Vivitar S1 90-180 macro zoom, or a Zuiko 200 f/5 on a
65-116 variable extension tube; an EF 100-300 f/5.6 L with 500D close-up
lens, or a new Tamron 70-300 1:2 macro zoom...
Can you recommend anything suitable for this sort of hand-held telephoto
macrophotography, from personal experience?
Thanks for your help,
IanL
