Grab the EM5 Mark 3 while it is going on sale likely....and the 60mm macro lens. Get the Raynox 250 and when you have the funds grab yourself a used MC-20 teleconverter. In the meantime, take a look at the posts I have posted in this forum, and go to this thread and read about the ability to use the MC-20 teleconverter with your 60mm macro lens.

Many here will knock on the setup because it isn't full frame. Who cares if it isn't when you can grab photos like this through focus bracketing and stacking? With the MC-20 teleconverter and the kenko 16mm extension tube attached to the Olympus 60mm macro lens you can get up to 2.6x magnification...with full ability to focus bracket up to 999 images (and stack up to 15 images internally). Helicon is excellent for stacking - I use method C with no issues.
Add the Raynox 250 to this setup and you'll get 5.5x magnification....basically 3.5mm field of view. Now, OM Systems did announce a 2:1, 90mm Pro macro lens to be released sometime next year...so you will have that at your fingertips as well....
fabulous images.
is your spider subject live?
the one with the sand in the head is a molt from a jumping spider - so it's basically the exoskeleton piece of the head. The closeup of the eyes that have many colors is not alive as he had just passed away from a bad molt.
The other shots are all live.
