esy0345 Posted July 13, 2013 Share #1 Â Posted July 13, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) A Leica OUFRO makes any lens a macro lens with the M240. Used it with the Noctilux for extremely narrow DOF today. Can get within 4-6 inches of subject. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Hi esy0345, Take a look here OUFRO. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Fgcm Posted July 13, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted July 13, 2013 I know and I've been looking for a good one at a reasonable price since last year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orient XI Posted July 13, 2013 Share #3 Â Posted July 13, 2013 I found putting a Noctilux directly on the front of a Visoflex a simple way to observe not only the limited depth of field at f/1 but also the strange curvature of field exhibited at this aperture. Try reading a newspaper with it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted July 16, 2013 Share #6 Â Posted July 16, 2013 With the Noctilux what is the maximum distance (approx) you can focus to? Â Thanks, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted July 16, 2013 Share #7  Posted July 16, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I see I paid £25 for mine in Feb 2009. What's the going rate now?  Now that we have Live View, I think we can expect Leica to introduce new lens accessories like this, so don't pay over the odds.

John McMaster Posted July 16, 2013 Share #8 Â Posted July 16, 2013 Â With the Noctilux what is the maximum distance (approx) you can focus to? Â Thanks, Â You can shoot with about a 150mm width of subject.. NZ PAW 26 Â john 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted July 17, 2013 Share #9 Â Posted July 17, 2013 Thanks very much John. Do you mean you can shoot a subject at a maximum of 1.5m distance? Your example is quite abstract so hard to tell! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted July 17, 2013 Share #11 Â Posted July 17, 2013 Sorry, I completely misread that, my fault. I'm assuming then that 150mm is closest focusing. Though my questions is what is the maximum distance you can focus at, not minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they come up on ebay here, they are going for @ $200 and that is for usable and not cosmetically excellent or boxed or anything special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McMaster Posted July 17, 2013 Share #13 Â Posted July 17, 2013 Off the top of my head (at work currently) a 50mm lens at infinity on the OUFRO will focus about 400mm away and gets closer if you move the lens focus ring. I think the OUFRO is more useful for 75mm and longer... Â john 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted July 18, 2013 Share #14  Posted July 18, 2013 I picked one up for £30 three weeks ago at Croydon Photo Centre but I had to search hard to get it at that price. They were being offered for $150 on the online auction site at the time.  This shot is with a 1947 Zeiss Opton Sonnar 50/1.5 with OUFRO and M420 at 2 to 3 inches.  Pete.  Welcome, dear visitor!

suey11 Posted July 22, 2013 Share #16 Â Posted July 22, 2013 I'm after a bit more info from those using the OUFRO this looks like it goes between the camera and lens how does this affect coding and does focusing work as normal. Is it advisable to use live view when using it with the M240 would it also work with M6. Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it advisable to use live view when using it with the M240 would it also work with M6. Thanks in advance. Yes, it goes between the camera and the lens, it's uncoded, yes it's advisable to use LIveView when using it with the M240 or you'd been guessing where the thin plane of focus lies, and it would work with an M6 but only if you used it with a Visoflex.

mirekti Posted October 15, 2013 Share #20  Posted October 15, 2013 I might try this out with my 75mm cron. It sounds like a lot of fun for rainy days spent at home I checked Ebay and there are different OUFROs. One, that is used to combine it with Visoflex, and the other that is some Chinese 10mm Extension Tube Ring Work for Leica Oufro 16469Y M M240 Type 240 M6 M7 M8 M9 | eBay  The latter one seems to be quite affordable. Is there anybody using it with 75mm Cron perhaps? Can the one made for Visoflex be used on M240 as well i.e. are these the same products? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
