It certainly is, which is why the 4:3rds sensor cameras make superb
macro machines due to the enhanced depth of field. Not sure whether the
original post was made in error/jest or not. I love the E-1 +
50mm/50-200mm + EX-25 combo. Even better when those lenses are strapped
on the E-330 - it was what live view was made for :).
