I have an Olympus E-500 and was wandering what lens/acessories some of you guys use to get a really close up shot of your corals. Obviously a tripod is anessential. I have been experimenting and have found a wb that gives me almost perfect coloration now I just need to get close enough to the coral and be able to focus. Thanks in advance.

I have a Tamaron 90mm macro lens (not sure if it would fit with your Olympus). I would look for some reviews on macro lenses that fit your camera.

unfortunately....olympus doesn't have a great selection of lenses available. here is a link to lenses compatible with the olympus on b&h

looks like the only ones they have that work are olympus and sigma lenses.....

thus sigma ones are the ones you'll want to stick to....

here is the sigma 105mm f/2.8 for $400 (a decent lens...lots of nikon people use this lens)

then theres the sigma 150mm f/2.8 for $600. i have this lens...and its very nice....but 150mm is not really necessary. i wish i had just saved my money and gone with a 100mm.....thus the reason why not many people have it.
