Close up lenses for the Leica Q

[Peter L]

Advertisement (gone after registration)

Hi All , I am intending to photograph thousands of dia positives (slides) both 35mm and medium format, using an enlarger stand and a color calibrated light table, with the leica Q and the interface app.

The Leica Q macro setting doesn't enlarge enough , so I need a close-up lens/filter.

Presently I am considering the Marumi DHG acromatic +3 49mm close up lens.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions ?

Thanks

Peter

Not conversant with the Q, but swear by a pair of Elpro close up lenses (V1a and V1b) on my X-Vario or T. They were made for the old Summicron R 50mm I have on my Leicaflex. You'll need to adapt them somehow, but it's not that hard.

 The Marumi +3 and +5 work fantastically well with the Q and have the advantage of being pocketable. 

 

I posted many macro photos very early in the Q photo thread. 

 

I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the image quality and usability.

 

No reason to expect that a fixed set-up for reproduction use wouldn't work just as well. The financial outlay to give it a try is minimal.
