Hi All - I am off to Bali in a few weeks with my new EM5/12-50 kit lens in an Olympus housing.
In messing around with the macro I have found that its ability to focus to infinity is very poor. This is a disappointment as my 50mm macro with my old E-520 could take 1:1 and was a good fast fish lens.
I was planning to set the lens to macro and use it as a 43mm macro lens only or set it 'normal' and use it as a general lens.
The other problem seems to be finding a zoom gear for the 12-50 that is reasonably priced ie $50. Is there no alternative zoom gear to the European one which is about $150 +shipping?
