Nice post!

My favorite lens for small insect macro photography is the m.Zuiko 40-150mm with Raynox DCR150.

Oh yes, I forgot the Raynox lens!

I bought the Marumi because I was afraid of potential vignetting using the Raynox.

But later someone in this forum assured that he absolutely has no vignetting.

Would I have to buy a close-up lens again, I would have a close look at the Raynox because the clip-on adapter might be easier to handle than the screw adapter of my Marumi.

By the way, I also did not mention the Canon close-up lenses. Many people are happy with the Canon. I think all three ( Raynox, Marumi and Canon) are optically very good. Which one to take depends only on personal preferences ...
