You'll get no argument from me or anyone on this list
when you talk about the quality of the Zuiko macro
lenses. Olympus has always had the best and most
extensive macro system far and above that offered by
anyone. I talked to a salesman at one of my local
camera stores, he said he was interested in
macrophotography and his eyes near popped out of his
head when I ratcheted off all the quality lenses and
equipment Olympus has made for its macro system, I
think I may have made a convert that day since he was
REALLY interested in macrophotograhy.
