Michael Hiles Posted April 10, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 10, 2011 Great stuff. It surprises me that there is no modern version of this lens. The idea is excellent, and works very well making an M camera even more versatile. Yes, I know about the macro 90mm - but this would be better, IMO.

jc_braconi Posted April 10, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 10, 2011 There are also 2 different diameters for the release ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered this lens when I bought my M3, but decided that the 90 Elmarit would do the job, at 1m it gives pretty well the same magnification as the 50 DR at minimum I have used macro lenses a lot on reflex cameras and 50mm or thereabouts is good for flat copy but more working distance given by a longer focal length is useful for three dimensional subjects.

Gerry That's true, but I have had always the feeling that focusing with the DR is easier at short distances...probably a different shape of the coupling cam which makes alignement more "micrometric".

And I have the feeling that the paralax correction of the googles helps to get better (as with the 90mm) on the photo what you see in the viewfinder. best regards Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
