Completely off-topic, but the plant in the centre of the pond is either an Alocasia or a variety of Philodendron so, for me, it's unusual to see it planted there because neither species like being in direct sunlight or in very wet soil since their natural habitat is in the jungle. I see that the lower fronds are withering so, sadly, the plant might be on its way out. (My apologies for this brief horticultural excursion.) Pete.

Lex Thank you. With an m10r, magnified in Lightroom it’s sometimes hard to know if I actually got the focus (though, maybe a little softness is a good thing sometimes). These lenses show a lot of character and the summitar is one of my favorites—definitely a worthwhile purchase if you can find a nice example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, thank you for your enquiry and I wondered the same too. When I checked Leica's website (after I'd had to play 'hide and seek' and eventually found the 50/2.4 Summarit-M page) I pressed the "Shop Now" button and was informed that the 50/2.4 is no longer available. It's therefore not a current lens as defined in my opening post so it qualifies as 'older glass'. Just. The 75/2.5 Summarit-M was replaced by the 75/2.5 Summarit-M in 2014 so it clearly qualifies.

downstairs Posted February 14, 2021 Share #6997 Posted February 14, 2021 I live by 35mm and 40mm lenses on M10. I need to get a bit closer than the standard 60cm - more or less like the shot below where focal-length equals distance. R lenses are perfect for this, but are so damn clunky that they ruin the pleasure of using an M. Perhaps the simplest way to go would be to shim a M39 screw-mount lens-adapter and use screw-mount lenses. Does any anyone have experience with shims? Is the adapter thread deep enough?

jankap Posted February 14, 2021 Share #6999 Posted February 14, 2021 Good idea! The adapter gives room to a shim of around 2 mm. But don't there exist extension rings for the M bayonet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Hello, I guess you're using a M10 with live view then you'll need to combine two adapters: this Novoflex M39 to M "Lei-M" adapter allows you to get closer with a Leica M lens, combined with a regular LTM to M adapter to use on a M camera: https://www.ebay.it/itm/Novoflex-lei-M-Adattatore-use-Leica-M-Mount-on-Leica-ltm-m39-l39/303723839346?hash=item46b759ff72:g:IagAAOSwL-tfhLQv I just tried it quickly evaluating distances by eye on a M10 with a 90mm M Summicron : Focussing on a 90mm M lens at a distance of 3m on the focus mark, the object placed at about 60cm from the camera sensor was sharp . At infinity with a 50mm M lens , the object was sharp when placed at approximately 40cm from the camera. Have fun, Jean-Marc.
