May I also suggest yet another option: buy a long zoom that you like (I have the M75-150/4 and the early M80-200/4.5 and I am quite happy with them, and you can follow the other people's suggestions too) and buy a 49mm-K reversing ring (and a step-down ring suitable for the thread of the zoom you like) for $20 or sth. The one downside is that you cannot attach a ring flash (because you don't have a thread at the front any more), but I have taken reasonably useful floral macros that way. The other downside is that the configuration induces step-down metering, but if I can do it with the MZ-50, you probably can do it with the ME Super. HTH, Kostas (not developed the pictures with the step-down ring yet, but I will report, promise :-)
