I can't speak for the reversed enlarging lens, but there are other ways to increase magnification whilst retaining autofocus and thus focus bracketing, such as extension tubes, teleconverters and dioptres (such as those made by Raynox). oneofone25 is a member over on the M43 forums who has a lot of success with these in conjunction with the Olympus 60mm macro that you mention. Here's one of their threads, but it's worth looking through other posts for more information.
Essentially, you can increase magnification by 1.4x or 2x depending on which Olympus teleconverter you use, but as the teleconverters are not built to work with the macro lens you need to connect them via an extension tube, with Kenko and Pixco being brands that people have success with. The diopter then goes in front of the lens, and there are a variety of options; the Raynox DCR-250 is the most versatile, which I've used in the field to create focus stacks of insects handheld with the Oly 60mm, whereas the Raynox MSN-202 and MSN-505 are much harder to use, necessitate a tripod and stacks with a very large amount of images, but provide much more magnification (with the 505 providing the most).
Hi Sheeno,
Holy smokes, those are some incredible photos by oneofone25.
I think this might have solved things for me. Teleconverters, tubes, and diopters definitely seem like the way to go.
Thanks!
GB.
