If I were doing it all over again, I'd have bought a 50/f2. I think this is a
brilliant kit and should be offered as a package on all new OMs (4ti, 3ti and
2000).

By the time you've invested in tubes, reversing rings etc, you're coming
very close to the used price of a 50 f/3.5 Macro. Simply an excellent lens
and can double as your normal lens (except for low-light). If I was doing
it, I'd save up and buy one.
