Trying it with manual macro lenses on my Pen-3 wasnt that succesful yet. On the display, its very difficult for me to recognize when the object is in focus. Its completely impossible with the E-P1.
Taking pics manually since 197something, this is very frustrating

Have you tried it with the VF? I found my EP2 worked well for close-ups using the VF2.

This is my favorite bug bar none. Something about those big eyes and the platypus face just wins my heart. This little guy grabbed my finger when I went to set him upright (he was on his back with legs waving helplessly in the air). As he was on my right index finger, my shutter finger, I had to manipulate the camera with my left hand. Mostly it didn't go well, but I got this one decent shot of my little friend. I just find them incredibly endearing.
