Great thread idea Damia. I know this isn't quite what you intended, but my primary lens used for macro shots is the one fixed to my C8080wz body. It is a 5x zoom but has a super macro function. Olympus states that it is of the same quality as the Zuiko lenses made for the E System (the E-1 digital SLR), and to support that it's made in the same factory. The C-8080's lens provides an equivalent 28 to 140 mm equiv. 5x optical zoom with a maximum aperture of f2.4 at wide angle (28 mm equiv.) and f3.5 at telephoto (140 mm equiv). The lens is made up of 15 elements in 13 groups, 2 of which are aspherical and 3 ED. It is a good compliment to the Sony 2/3" eight megapixel CCD inside the camera. Here is a full size crop of a supermacro capture. I had to lower the jpeg quality a bit to fit it in the Forum, but you get the idea. Looking forward to seeing some more samples!
