BUT: The close-ups, you can do this little plastic part using, hugely impressive (will soon upload a few pictures) are.
Bee pollen, fiber structures of tissues, mites in carpet hairs on leaves. The light guide is a really worthwhile accessory for super macro shots of the TG-1/2 and the microscope mode of the TG. 3
I find that the results justify the price, even if it does not do the production costs.
