Thanks!

Same as the previous "ultimate cheap macro" -- lighting = builtin
flash on E-330, macro rail = my hands. That's why it's a cheap _studio_,
there's no extra kit involved, and digital lets me take a lot of shots
and ditch the ones which aren't quite what I wanted.

Ah, that's a neat trick too. When I have more confidence in my ability
to a:drill a hole reliably and b:find the center of a circle accurately,
I'll remember that one. I don't think there's any way to do this that
doesn't sacrifice _something_, but 49mm filter caps can be generic
brand, and if you have a reversing adapter it probably is cheaper overall.
