Flar, my lens can go much closer than yours but the working distance is very small so my result would not be much better (if at all) if I tried. Which is why I didn't post any insect photos. Most of the photos I posted here are focused at 3 cm (the minimum focus distance) and I am not brave enough to be that close to spiders!

Thanks, my Olympus C-7070 has fixed lens so I don't have much choice in terms of lenses... It does already have a 35mm-equivalent maximum magnification ratio of approx 1.25:1, so I wouldn't need to change the lense to do macros anyways.
I am seriously considering getting an SLR though for better autofocus and optical viewfinder, even though live view would not be as good.
