Greetings

As i enjoy taking pictures of my plants, i am now looking to get a macro lens for my "Olympus e-pl1" camera. I am likely looking at a low to mid range price class. Main requirement is, that i have to be able to take fairly sharp tricome shots.

What would you guys recommend to get? Please have in mind, that i am located in Europe, so it needs to be available here

I recommend the Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm 3.5. I used to have the e-pl1. It can take some great pictures and it's compatible with canon remote flashes too so you can get cheap Yongnuo lights for it.
Found a few macros I took with that setup.

Or try something with extension tubes on a lens you all ready have it's a super cheap way to see if you like macro. Pretty sure I took these with a Sears 100mm on extension tubes with a handheld flash.
