Thanks all for the extension ring info. So, I think that means I need a
25mm for my 50/1.8? Do they make 12 or 13s so you can get 1:2, or put
the together to get 1:1? Thanks, 

They make  a 7mm, 15mm (if my memory serves me correctly), and a 25mm.

However the 50mm f/1.8 is not designed for macro. I have used it this way with 
good results, but for the best results you may be better getting a reversing 
ring. You would however lose the auto diaphragm.

Incidentally I never hear mention of the olympus 25mm which I have. Its a 
manual only rather than the newer auto version.
