Pete, credit for that point goes to Mr. Karbe and Leica.

Out of curiosity, I upsampled the attached Pipit photo to 150%, and then cropped it at 100%, with only slight sharpening and no noise reduction.  Not a museum piece, of course, but still eminently viewable.

Just got this lens, so far ... loving it! Shot with a digital camera, next I will try it with my Leica R9 film camera.

Last evening, I had the time to pull out my Leitz Macro-Elmar-R 100mm f/4 and Focusing Bellows-R set to test them on the Hasselblad 907x. 

First hurdle was testing for compatibility with the Fotodiox Pro Leica R to Hasselblad X mount adapter, which has a built-in Arca-Swiss tripod foot. Happily, the foot just clears the back of the bellows unit (about .2mm to spare!) so the combination is usable.

I suspect that I'll pick up a Novoflex adapter at some point, as the foot on the Fotodiox Pro gets in the way fairly frequently...

I tested with a series of exposures from wide open to f/11 at several distance settings and am delighted to say that this lens performs beautifully on the full 33x44 format. No vignetting and virtually no corner darkening beyond what it normally exhibits on a 24x36mm frame when wide open, and superbly sharp imaging from corner to corner across the field of view. Using this 100mm lens with the Focusing Bellows-R nets tremendous flexibility: focusing range is from infinity down to 1:1, and the bellows unit has both a built-in micro-focusing rail and both mm extension and magnification scales for the 100mm lens. (The bellows has magnification scales for both 90mm and 135mm lenses as well.) It also allows rotation of the body by 90° on the bellows unit and a quick mechanism to hold the aperture open for focusing, and stop it down for exposure, without changing the aperture ring setting. 

A very nice piece of kit to use with the 907x, presuming static subjects that are appropriate for eshutter capture. 
Now I have to go off and make some photos with it... :D

Hi Ramarren, thanks for information on using your Leica Macro-Elmar-R 100mm f/4.

I shot this image using the Fotodiox dlx stretch E-mount adapter onto my Sony a7r4, 35mm camera.

While the Leica 100mm f/2.8 macro is only a 1:2 (0.5x) lens, the Fotodiox "dlx" adapter has a helicoid that allows up to an additional ~ 35mm of extension.

So this combination, "on the fly", allows the magnification to increase from 0.5x mag, up to a 0.85x mag. I also have the Leica Bellows-R and it is an excellent bit of kit!!!

Cheers
