Seeds of Small Flowered Willowherb (Epilobium parviflorum) out of my greenhouse too.
Cultivated not for medicinal purpose, in this case it is a persistent weed ...;-)

Gerd, that's a really nice shot! I've never heard of this particular species although we have what's know here as Rose Bay willow-herb, which I assume is related, it's quite a large plant and a bit of a weed. I'll take a closer look next time I see one!
Out of interest have you got the little 35mm macro lens as well? I'd love to try out the 50/2 but I'm stuck with the 35/3.5 at the moment. Having said that it's a stunning little lens for the money and it does 1:1 out of the box.

Thanks, Laurie, i tested the 35 lens some time ago. A friend of mine uses this one.
Unfortunately you have a very short working distance around the 1:1,
the most of the insects i tried to catch with the Oly 35, escaped before i
reached the sharpness zone. With the 50 it works much better, it has a
wonderful long working distance.
The Rose Bay willow-herb is "the big brother" of the small flowered one, the seeds are
similar. And you have to find one in a windless place, the seeds were blown away
with a breeze...

The 50mm one doesn't have the same magnification - so you need bigger subjects. I think the box says 1:2 on it, but they say that due to the sensor size, that's really 1:1 in old Slr speak.lauriek wrote: Out of interest have you got the little 35mm macro lens as well?

The 35mm says 1:1 on the box but due to sensor size, it's supposed to be 2:1.
Since I did no macro work with film slr, I don't have any images to compare.
When I got the 50mm the camera shop wanted to know if I'd like to trade in the 35mm as they wondered if I'd have a use for it.
It is a great lens and I use it for the smaller critters and other subjects. The working distance doesn't really bother me, as it's down to field craft and patience - and knowing your subject.
I really like the 50mm because of the F2 - which is fantastic at blurring the backround - but again, it's down to patience and the ability not to breathe, move etc.
Just to add, my e510 doesn't do too badly at higher ISOs, but e500 was quite bad at 400 or higher.
