Re: [OM] Oly DoF Tricks

Well, that's too bad.  I looked in the manual and it said to check the 
Oly site for compatible lenses.  I found Kazuo Unno's article and, IIRC, 
he was using the 40-150 Pro and the 60mm macro.  But there was nothing 
that said only these lenses would work.  I guess I'm not really 
surprised.  These lenses have to make very tiny focusing steps to carry 
this off at close distances.  Probably much more precision than normal 
lenses.  Maybe there will have to be a 60mm macro added to my equipment box.
