<<<Macro lens is a complicated thing for µ4/3.

Wonderful post by Moose.  The PL 100-400 with the Pentax T132 achromatic CU 
diopter is a killer kit for flutterbys.   It can even resolve the scales  
shooting small critters at 1:1 but not in my hands at 400mm.  I did not do 
formal testing and there are a slew of variables
but 250ish mm seems to work better-- based on review of images only.  The MZ 
12-100 is a nice lens and does the sync IS with the Em1 MK2 and is very well 
weather sealed but not great for macro.   I bought the Sigma diopter for a 
steal thanks to a link from Moose and it does work well on the 12-100  (unlike 
the T132) but the working distance is a tad short.  MFT could use a very nice 
loooong FL macro lens but there are other options. 

Skittish critter chaser, Mike
