Certainly, it's a budget solution, and you also give up infinity focus, but some lenses are really good and still produce good macro results. Here were my tests with my Sigma 60mm + extension tubes:

Obviously not elaborate tests, but the results look good to me. The only issue to watch out for--and it's still the case for non-macro shots, is purple fringing. I have to fix that with the Sigma lens on E-M1 even for normal shots, depending on contrast.

whats the working distance from the front lens ?
