LocalHero1953 Posted January 17, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Consider the BOOWU-M and a collapsible Elmar-M 50mm (not expensive). Together they make a copy stand of fixed focus. There should be three separate heads (which the inner lens barrel fits onto, and the camera fits onto the other side of the head), which are for shooting A4, A5 and A6. They are used with the legs extended at one of three lengths to match. I used it for a number of years with an M2, but it should work equally well with any digital M. One of the extraordinary array of beautifully engineered gadgets that Leica used to produce to expand the scope of the M (and earlier) systems.

No - it needs the collapsible Elmar, which allows you to bypass the focussing mount. They are not hard to find or expensive, and it makes an error free set up. And the lens bayonet connector on the BOOWU-M is not an M bayonet. Edited January 17, 2017 by LocalHero1953 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirke Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted January 17, 2017 Then it is not what I am looking for , I want a ring for my 50 or 90 mm but I have no idea which one 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmx_2 Posted January 17, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 17, 2017 You can use either OUFRO or this set from novoflex: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1045031-REG/novoflex_lem_vis_ii_adapter_for_visoflex_ii_iii.html 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted January 17, 2017 Share #8 Posted January 17, 2017 Hello, You don't mention the camera, nor the size of the drawings. If your camera has liveview, one or more OUFRO (1cm thick) could be used with your 50mm and 90mm with less magnification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirke Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) M240the drawings are 10 to 20 cm large, I want to get the max pixels of them then OUFRO ? and what would be the MAP distance ? any link to buy it ? thanks Edited January 17, 2017 by siangue Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted January 17, 2017 Share #10 Posted January 17, 2017 So one OUFRO is enough then with 50mm or 90mm. I will test the set up in a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted January 17, 2017 Share #11 Posted January 17, 2017 Quick test, so those values may vary with your apo 50mm. with OUFRO + Elmar-M 50mm set at infinity the field is 21cm large same with lens set to 0.7 m the field is 13cm large and the subject is 22cm from the front of the Elmar-M Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmx_2 Posted January 17, 2017 Share #14 Posted January 17, 2017 Thank you mmx_2 , I need all the set ? is it possible to get only one ring for my 50 apo ? You have to buy the whole set (it's only sold like that) or one or two OUFRO, but with the novoset different magnifications are possible. I always bring an OUFRO with me for quick and dirty macro with Elmar 24 or lux 35 (both give very good results), but I also have the novo set. Drawback with novo is that it screws apart so it's slower than stacking OUFRO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmx_2 Posted January 17, 2017 Share #15 Posted January 17, 2017 it seems perfect If I can put it on my 50 apoIt works with any lens giving different magnifications. Drawback with the longer ones are of course a very thin DOF. Benefit is on the other hand that you get further away. For shooting flowers the 24 Elmar is just awesome! I don't think the the results from the Apo will be anything but stellar:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmx_2 Posted January 17, 2017 Share #16 Posted January 17, 2017 M240 the drawings are 10 to 20 cm large, I want to get the max pixels of them then OUFRO ? and what would be the MAP distance ? any link to buy it ? thanks Only available used:(. The novoset with one ring is exactly the same as one OUFRO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo63 Posted January 18, 2017 Share #19 Posted January 18, 2017 I built my own extension tube out of a lens bayonet cap and a body cap. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/240934-diy-extension-tube-m240m-p240-only/ It was more me wondering "hey, i wonder if this works" than anything else, but it does work very well. the only issue is the lens doesn't lock into the cap, but that can be quickly remedied with a bit of gaffa tape. can get 1:1 (FOV at MFD is 24x36mm) with my Olympus 28mm lens, from memory the 50mm does 36x50mm and the 90mm 72x50mm a bit of experimenting with body caps (you can get a bucketful for a few $ on eBay) and different lenses will likely net you a workable solution. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmx_2 Posted January 18, 2017 Share #20 Posted January 18, 2017 Nice! Actually, with my 3D-printer it should be possible to print a set like that:). I think I have both mounts in 3D already.
