A 38 mm reversed is 17.5 mm wide field. Using the shutter speed, I am
getting better depth, though haven't had nearly the messing around time I
want.
Chuck was showing off the EC 14, I think the auto macro ring is called, and
his 35 mm macro on the E-330 I shamed him into buying. Pretty neat set up,
insinuated he only paid 100 for the adaptor and a couple of hundred for the
35 mm macro.
At least for field of depth and the size of what we are shooting, this
handles most of what we want (then I find 2-4 mm long insects and chase them
hand held over the top of a mossy fence post) if I can get a camera program
to work and not screw up my pics, I'll post some tomorrow. Ladybugs with
water on them, trying to huddle together from the rain and the cold was a
treat today, they were holding still! ( I was using the 14-45 reversed at
35-45 mm as I can get a little depth of field at those ranges, at 14 is it
flat and a line across the middle of the lens is all that focuses).

Don't feel bad, Scott. I don't have a 20mm either. But I'm hoping my
old 38/3.5 might get me partly there.
OK, the e-1 is in the car and I'm not going out to get it, however I did
grab an OM 2S, an extension tube, a lens reversing adapter and my 50mm f1.8
and
that will let you get pretty darn close and on an e-whatever it might be
another el cheapo alternative. I think there are many roads to Mecca, many

which are on the Olympus highway. <{8^) Bill Barber
