Oly made a fabulous macro system that's still in use by many photographers. 
With a first rate bellows design, the unique 
and really handy 65-116 Auto Tube, excellent 20, 38, 80 & 135 mm lenses and 
cool illumination gadgets for the shorter 
ones, they fully cover 1x to 14x magnification.

Super close-up folks, like Dean Hansen gravitate to the shorter FLs. Ordinary 
macro folks like me have the 135 and 80 mm 
bellows lenses and the 50/3.5 regular macro lens.

The macro and micro systems are very complete and really flexible. About the 
only thing they showed, but never released, 
is a shift and tilt bellows.
