Olympus lives up to its name as one of the finest manufacturers of fine optics, with this relatively inexpensive lens. A wonderful product for those both experienced and wishing to be experienced in the field of macro photogaphy. Suitable for any of the recent and current DSLR "e" series cameras. I highly remcommend it not only for it's price but for it's ability to reach magnification ratio of 1:1. The only failing I have found is that when racking the lens way out flash from the DSLR built in flash causes the lens to cast its shadow in the frame. No such problem if using aa auxilary flash such as the Olympus FL-36R, expecially when used with an auxialry flash bracket.

Want good value for less bucks? This is the lens for you!
