I want to get closer than 30"

Has anyone used the older-style close focus adapter with goggles (sold separately and bundled in kits with the former pre-"big top" Macro-Elmar-M 90) stacked with the new Macro-Adapter-M sans goggles?

 

If so, which lenses have you used and what issues have you found, if any?

OK, in the spirit of my self-designated "lens test week-end" and since I have already done a couple in reply to questions from other forum members, why not try this?

 

Here's a crappy iPhone picture of the contraption: M240 + both macro adapters stacked + vintage Yashinon 50/1.8

As expected, in actual usage magnification is indeed huge and DOF is extra-thin. Needless to say, the goggles are useless, so you need LV/EVF.

 

Basically, it's like stacking a couple of OUFROs (or other extension tubes) with the ability to adjust somewhat the magnification ratio through the helicoid of the new macro adapter.

Here's the only half-decent one I managed to take - but I didn't try very hard either.

Bear in mind this is handheld with a 1959 lens wide open @ f/1.8. Converted with LR default settings.
