Very nice job, Alan - I would quibble only with the term "click-stop

Thank you all for the suggestions.
The first set of 4 tables is now live in the "Going digital" section of this
page:
http://www.alanwood.net/photography/olympus/macro-lens-20-35.html
I have included model designations, sensor sizes and extension, which should
keep most people happy.
