Adapter for 100mm apo R

Recommended Posts

So just to clarify, with a novoflex adapter I wouldn't be able to manually select an R lens profile by going through the menu?

 

As a cheaper alternative, has anybody here tried a 200mm Nikkon AF D f/4 for macro work on the SL?  How does it compare to the 100 apo R?

 

 

Cheaper alternative if you don't mind manual focus … and which is usually better for life size macro imaging

 

 

 
… but you'd also need the 1:1 FD extension tube … http://www.ffordes.com/product/17020210182481
 
…  the lens alone would be OK for 1:2 macro i.e. half life size.
 
Or this Leica R Macro Elmar 100/4 lens with bellows would be fine for 1:1 macro with an R to SL adapter 
 
 
… most of James Lager's Leica book illustrations were photographed with this lens; stopped down to f8 it's a super lens but not many photographers realise what a gem optic it is. 
 
Lighting and subject support and camera / lens support are just as important as the lens for close-up photography … and manual focus is preferred by many close-up enthusiasts.
 
Unlikely that an R lens profile (or any other 'profile') would be of much use (if any) for close-up imaging.
