To expand Denton's comments a little - the OM system is truly "best of
breed" in the macro specialty. I know several pros who use other make
cameras as their work-a-day tools, but keep Oly gear in reserve explicitly
for close-up/macro work.
To elaborate some of the macro attachments, the 80mm f/4 bellows lens comes
in two flavors, pre-set and auto versions. And don't forget the unique
telescoping auto-extension tube. Terrific for field work. Olympus also has
an adapter for attaching the OM to a microscope for when you get really
carried away <g>.
