30mm? or 50mm?  B&H lists a Sony 50 and 100 macro, both f/2.8 and I'm 
thinking it's a simple typo.

Does anyone know if the 4/3 to m4/3 adapter makes the 4/3 lens auto 
diaphragm? I would think it does but haven't found a reference that 
states one way or another.

If it does take a look at the Olympus 4/3 (not micro) 50mm f/2.0 ED 
macro. Outstanding reviews on B&H and  tested on dpreview. Priced about 
the same as the Sony 50 macro.
