Good question!  I asked the same when someone replied off list that they
had the 'instructions'!  It seems there some warnings about using long
heavy lenses, and then adjusting the macro level - it can stress the
internal mechanism.  (I was looking for recommendations on what you do with
the prime lens focus/zoom settings, and which piece you adjust first...)

Jez,

As a matter of interest, what would you expect to learn from an instruction
sheet?

Also, has there been much discussion on the list about quality of non Oly
tele-macro converters? Or of the optimal uses?. I have a Sigma 2x MC (4
element, I think) tele-macro, which I've always assumed would be inferior
to
extension tubes for macro work. Useful, I appreciate, for doubling the
focal
length of teles. Should my Sigma perform well - and with which lenses
particularly?
