magnification isn't much - and - happens at the 12 mm end, so one must sort of press
the lens up against the subject. This shoot was in part to test a solution. I think
it worked. ;-)

I have the original Pentax literature. The T132 was designed to use on their
MMC Takumar 150/2.8 165/2.8 and 2000mm/4.
The T226 for the 200/4.
Yes, I have a PDF of that.
Seems durn good on the Oly 12-100.
No complaints. Although I've not (yet?) done the careful comparisons I did with C-Us on the 100-400, this practical test
went very well.
I assume you used focus bracketing and stacked in PS and not the auto stack mode, IIRC from a previous post.
No auto stacking in camera with the E-M5 II. The E-M1 I & II have it, but it's limited to eight slices and three lenses.
The TG 3 & 4 have it, and it's fun, but limited to Microscope Mode.
I suspect not too much better results with a macro lens with an image of this
size at least.
I wouldn't think so. Just C-U, not Macro.
The soon to be released Panny/Leica 12-60 is much lighter
Yup, the 12-100 is 75% heavier and 35% longer.
and able to achieve higher mag,
Not according to specs. 12-100 = 0.3x (Wide) / 0.21x (Tele), 12-60 = 0.3x. However, closest focus for the Panny is
listed as 20 cm, and for the Oly as 15 cm, giving hope that the max. mag. for the Panny is at 60 mm.
as well as a bit faster on the short end, but may not be worth it in light of
these results.
Yes, it's quick and easy to swap a C-U lens on and off, but never underestimate
the value of simplicity in the field.
