Vivitar 55mm lens for olympus e510..

[Cookaaaaay]

Hello,

I'm looking for macro lenses for my olympus e510.
I've found a lens in my price range. I've seen examples of photos, the lens looks amazing. It's the Vivitar 55mm. Anyone got any experience with this lens? Is it too good to be true?

Any other recommendations on macro lenses?

Thanks.

Vivitar make some cracking Macro lenses, but they do seem to have a common problem with aperture ghosting and flare at wide apertures. I have not sen the 55mm version, but I would imagine that it was made my a few different manufacturers, and as such some may well be better than others.
