Thanks for the tip.  I've been keeping my eyes open for a set of bellows 
for quite some time (on the local secondhand market).  I'll buy some one 
day, but I already have a 100mm macro lens (1:1) plus extension tubes, so 
its not urgent :)

BTW I have used the macro with all tubes plus a 2x TC on the LX.  The LX 
is the only body I could have used for this shot.  The viewfinder image 
was so dark I had to remove the finder and focus with the ground glass 
under a 10x loupe.  The OTF metering nailed it perfectly.

Its not often you _need_ an LX but when you do, its all there is :)  I 
plan to purchase a waist-level finder for it after I've paid off the 
credit card.

Cheers,
