Got myself a cheap "Marco Lens" solution. What I did was bought from Amazon Olympus macro converter MCON-P02, converts your normal Lens to "Marco" capable. It is a little adapter, literally take up no visible space in my bag, can transform any of my 3 tiny holy trinity into "Marco" Lens anytime, anywhere.

With the step up/down ring |
It can support 37mm and 46mm, because it comes with a step up/down ring,
the converter itself is 46mm, the ring convert its to 37mm.

I own the Olympus 45mm f1.8 lens, It is great for portraits and even general photography. It's minimum focus distance is 50cm. That doesn't let you get close enough to an insect to take a good photo. Add the converter and you can get much closer, about 24cm. The converter makes the 45mm lens even more versatile.
Here are some sample shots I took with my Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark 2 with Olympus 45mm f1.8 with the
Olympus macro converter MCON-P02.

MCONs are fun to have, but it is not for serious Macro Photography, it is for those on budget and hardly take Macro photos.
