Whoops, blew those links, try this:
OK, I have done some more macro stuff with the E-1. If you use the
50-200mm lens with 25mm extension tube, you can get the maximum
magnification using the zoom set to 200mm and use the focus control for
focus. Before I suggested using the zoom control for coarse focus, which is
fine, but not if you want maximum working distance and maximum
magnification. I found this combination to be great for macro, as good
as anything I attempted with the OM system (Best OM: 180/2 lens with
25mm extension and maybe a 1.4x multiplier after the extension.) Since
I do not have the 1.4x multiplier for E-1, it will be interesting to
try the combination of 50-200 + 25mm extension + 1.4x multiplier.
Here is another shot of the bleeding heart with lens set to 200mm, F9,
1/2 second exposure. These shots have been converted to sRGB for better
web display. Adjustments = contrast adjustment only in Photoshop.

Here was one of the first sets of photos with the E-1, handheld using
the 14-54mm lens. Previous link does not work. I was not looking
through the viewfinder, but just held the camera close to the subject.
Most of the attempts failed, but this was the best lucky shot using
auto-focus. With the 14-54mm lens, you have to hold the camera quite
close to the subject, and this case did not allow looking through the
viewfinder.

Oh, and one last macro, really looks like bleeding heart bleeding.
