Macro lens for Olympus E500 Evolt


Hi, I am considering buying the olympus E500 camera as I saw it at a very good price, but I mainly want to shoot close-up's, flowers, bugs, etc....is there a good lens out there that would work with this camera? Thanks.

  Sigma has recently announced their 105 f/2.8 Macro EX and 150 f/2.8 Macro EX lenses are now available in the Olympus 4/3s mount. Both of these are very good macros that focus close enough for 1:1 (life-size) images on the digital sensor. Currently, Olympus offers only their own Zuiko 50 f/2 Macro ED, which only focuses close enough for 1:2 (one half life size).
