Greg,
I own and use the DZ 50mm and can heartily recommend it. In addition I also
use some of the OM macro's on my E-1 with the most used lens being the
135/4.5. I have but haven't had call to do much more than confirm it works a
38/3.5, now that lens gets up close and personal!
As to the 18-180mm I used to own one but in my pruning earlier this year it
found a new home. It is a great idea but I just didn't use it enough to
justify keeping it. Perhaps I should go on vacations more? (with less
cameras that is!)
My advice would be to start with the 50 and in time add the 18-180 if your
funds allow.

Subject: [OM] Any comments on Zuiko Digital 35 or 50 macro? 18-180?
Well, I've barely had time to use my E-510 and the two lenses in the kit,
but I'm already thinking about more glass. (I think it's called
Zuikoholism.) I'm thinking about one of the macros, and leaning toward the
50mm because of the longer working distance. I think the 1:1 FOV of the 50
will be plenty of magnification for me. But I've got the 50/3.5 and /2.0 and
90/2.0 MF Zuiko macros, in addition to all three version of the Tamron 90mm
SP macros, and wonder if I won't be using MF more in macro, even with the AF
lenses. Anyone care to comment on the use of any or all of these macro
lenses with the Zuiko digital bodies?
I'm also thinking about the 18-180 as a general vacation walking-around
lens. Anyone used it?
Thanks!
Greg
