I have got great results using extension tubes AND close-up lenses
(filters). I just make sure I over-expose a bit on my OM1 and it works
well. This is much, much, much, much, much cheaper than a macro lens, but
is a bit more invloved. Since I do not do much macro work though, I don't
care about the extra time it takes.

Hi,
My experience with close-up lenses is rather limited, but I found that you
can obtain better results with extension rings. Distortion is lower.
By lucky chance (:-)) I have a set of OM off-brand (Albinar) ext.-rings I
want to part with. They're 12, 20 and 36 mm, have auto function and I would
sell them very cheap. So If you live close to me (Europe) that could be a
good deal.
Or just find them at a camera dealer close to you. They are certainly in the
same price range than a couple of close-up lenses.
Best regards,
Bernd
