Thanks Moose, Mike
I am hoping focus stacking would help especially seeing some of your
recent images but it certainly looks like a possibility? as I reported
in the past I tried with the 80/4 on autotube with the E-m5 and an led
modelling light, but its manual focus and extremely fiddly, Kerstin had
seen some excellent results from other practitioners using a simple
point and shoot although she didn't note the model of camera. I could
try an oly m43 AF macro but the TG-4 is a cheaper option if it works
plus we would have focus stacking available, as mentioned before it
should require minimum effort and fuss for best results. Its a shame
that the only way for us to try is to buy one - mind you its cheaper
than the 1.4TC from
Fuji ;-)
I found this but of course it doesn't provide more than I knew

here are some amazing images but not what Kerstin needs - again I may
have posted this link before

Looks like a job for a x-polariser.
Good way to turn something simple into a big project. ;-)
I could mount the ring flash head on the camera, with a 46+49 mm
adapter ring. But then I don't think the camera lens could get close
enough to the subject for the desired magnification. Mounting it to
the front of the tele adapter, 40.5 mm thread, would probably break
something, without a separate support.
But then, no flash shoe, so a separate thingie of some sort would be
needed to carry the power unit.
I would then have gone from a quite small camera to a large, heavy,
complex assembly, with a little camera lost in the middle.
Then comes working out exposure . . .
Life is just the right length without this project.
135/4.5 on Auto Tube on an OMD, or any DSLR or ILC, would be a better
bet.
Carpe Diem Moose
