[OM] Interesting/Odd new macro lens.

[Moose]

A new super macro lens rears its strange head.

With fixed focal distance and what must be a tiny range of adjustment, you stick in on the camera, get in to ~4x-ish 
focus distance and make fine focus adjustment that may vary between 4 and 4.5x.
Pretty darn limiting. Recalling all Dean's praise, I took a look at the OM 38/2.8 bellows lens. Hmmm, continuous 
coverage from roughly half to twice the magnification range of this thing, for less than twice the cost. (OK, I admit 
that cost leaves out the tube and bellows I already have.)
Heck, I could even fire up the ring flash and/or twin macro flash for the first 
time this century.

Look Closely Moose
