 Jeff,
        I have the 55mm filter version.......It even fits the T10 ringflash
and T28 maco flash ring. Lens is first class. It is not a zuiko - being a
little on the large size ????_ But the results are first class!  Unless you
really require 1 : 1 I would steer clear of the dedicated tube. It is a pain
in the a***.  To use it you have to remove the mount from the lens, attach
the tube, re-attach the mount, and then fit the whole assembly to the
camera.
In my opinion it is far easier to leave the mount attached to the lens and
simply use an auto extension tube...zuiko of course! I feel the f2.8 version
has made compromises to enable it to focus to 1:1  Just my opinion of course
.
Others will probably disagree!   :- ))
                               Regards, John Duggan, Wales, UK.
