I've been hesitating for a long while whether I should go for Panasonic, Nikon or Canon regarding macro possibilities.
I know that MPE-65 is on the Canon side and that Nikon has a nice ring flash in R1C1.
Since I have an FZ50 with Raynox lenses, giving me sharp macro images, and flash 360 I've finally come to the decision that a G1/G2 with 14-45 and 45-200 will be ok for me. Maybe I will buy a Lumiquest mini softbox and put it on my flash together with some homemade connection between flash and softbox. I'm not sure.
That's why it would be interesting to see Your macro setup!
Are there any good flash brackets where it's possible to tilt the flash towards the lens? Are there any third party ring flashes? Are there close-up lenses available with D=1.0 ? I'm thinking of the coming 100-300 mm and since I know of no extension tubes yet for m43 an alternative would be a weak close-up lens.
Maybe some of you find it ok regarding working distance to butterflies/dragonflies with the 45-200?
