terrycioni Posted April 1, 2007 Share #1  Posted April 1, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Greetings All,  I don't usually shoot flowers but I just got the Macro Elmar kit from POPFLASH and decided to take it out as it is such a beautiful day here on the West Coast of Canada - handheld of course.  The Elmar without the adapter is a formidable 90mm lens. I really like the size and quality of this lens.  Cheers. Terry. Welcome, dear visitor!

gtmerideth Posted April 1, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted April 1, 2007 Terry, I knew you would like that combo and boy do you know how to use it. Great shots. Only from a Leica. g. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted April 1, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted April 1, 2007 Lovely pictures, thanks for sharing, Aside from the slightly clunky lens hood, the 90/4 is a great lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycioni Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share #4 Â Posted April 1, 2007 Thanks... It is wicked combo as you pointed out. The little viewfinder piece is all Leica. The kit is amazing, lenshood with cap, cap for use without the lens hood, and the leather case for viewfinder will be around for a very long time. The adapter works nicely on the M8. I am happy. It is a great little 90 without macro. Â Cheers. Terry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guy_mancuso Posted April 1, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted April 1, 2007 Terri i just reserved one of these from my dealer and i was going to get the adapter also but the flower shots above very nice BTW were just with the lens only and not the adapter. See i have the Visio also and wondering if the adapter maybe a redundant piece of gear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted April 1, 2007 Share #7 Â Posted April 1, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is this exactly what you got. http://www.popflash.com/index.php?p=product&id=1409&parent=30 Â I was also wondering about the angle finder too. It looks like a built in diopter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted April 1, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted April 1, 2007 I just read the specs on the angle finder , no diopter built in but does look neat. I think I will get the adapter too makes for a nice travel macro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Olof Posted April 1, 2007 Share #9 Â Posted April 1, 2007 The Elmarit Macro Set ist the lens i have ordered by the 30% action. At the moment Leica have problems to deliver the Adapter, but at the end of these month i should get the set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted April 1, 2007 Share #10 Â Posted April 1, 2007 Are they including the angle finder in the macro set? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted April 1, 2007 Share #11  Posted April 1, 2007 Thanks Mark, you so right that is the strangest looking lenshood lens combo...I guess Leica retro. Great lens. Terry.  Not retro but permanence. That lenshood was introduced in 1958 for the new 90 mm Elmarit and has been in use since then on all long M lenses with a 39 mm filter size. Clunky? It works – in contradistinction to many of those dainty little pull-out things.  The old man from the Age of Lens Hoods Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotomiguel Posted April 1, 2007 Share #12 Â Posted April 1, 2007 Great shots! After looking at your shots, I feel like I want to buy this lens too. Thank you for sharing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusion Circle Posted April 1, 2007 Share #13 Â Posted April 1, 2007 *Ack!* Now I want one! Terry, where did you buy yours? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a hole for the little blue dot to see through?  I calculate that you get down to less than 40 cm distance at the quoted 1:3 limiting magnification. Do the goggles give you parallax correction for that close, and do you find the slightly different angle of view from the viewfinder is enough of a problem to deter the serious bug and flower hunter?  cheers,  scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlaurpic Posted April 1, 2007 Share #15 Â Posted April 1, 2007 Not sure I understand how you got your flower shots, which are beautiful, by the way. Â Were they done with the macro adaptor attached to your M8? Â Sorry to ask you to repeat if you already made this clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long shot was without the adapter (nice little 90mm and sharp). I bought the whole kit from Tony Rose. As you point out the eye piece has no diopter correction but it works well and is very neat. Both the lens and adapter are coded. So the kit is lens, adapter, and eye piece. The lens comes with the hood, lens cap for the hood, and a second lens cap for use with out the hood. All beautiful. They do it well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycioni Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share #17  Posted April 1, 2007 Is this exactly what you got. PopFlash.Photo: LEICA 90MM F/4 MACRO I was also wondering about the angle finder too. It looks like a built in diopter   Exactly with no diopter.... What a nice kit.  T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted April 1, 2007 Share #18 Â Posted April 1, 2007 Thanks Terri appreciate the feedback. I will diffently get the adapter than. That little angle finder sure looks tempting too. LOL More money down the black hole. Â Â BTW with the adapter that is pretty darn close to the flowers , I like that a lot and most cases maybe all you really need. Was that the closet for the white flower on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flower shots are with the adapter. The long shot is without the adpater.  It is a very compact 90mm and would make a great travel lens although it is an F4 but that is it's only limitation near as I can tell.  Cheers. Terry.
