nicci78 Posted March 7, 2020 Share #101 Posted March 7, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Proper macro lens replaces depth of field scale for magnification scale while keeping the distance scale. Depth of field is only real relevant for normal shots. After 2 years with APO-Macro-TL 60 without any scale. I am please do get the magnification, distance and depth of field scales back with my APO-Macro-R 100. I think that Elpro 52 is way easier to use than Macro-Adapter-M, because it works like a filter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 Hi nicci78, Take a look here Macro lenses for Leica CL. <merged>. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lct Posted March 7, 2020 Share #102 Posted March 7, 2020 Just shot with 90/2 apo on macro adapter. Not sure i could do much better with the 90/4 macro. As for the R 60/2.8 i would have to kneel down due to its shorter reach and my wife would complain about my dirty trousers (Digital CL, Summicron-M 90/2 apo, Macro-Adapter-M v2, f/5.6, about 50cm subject distance, handheld).

bags27 Posted March 7, 2020 Share #103 Posted March 7, 2020 For just occasionally use and light as a feather, the Elpro or the essentially as good, but a lot cheaper, Marumi DHG Achromat. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said that the 90/2 apo is soft at close distance? Welcome, dear visitor!

nicci78 Posted March 7, 2020 Share #105 Posted March 7, 2020 Leica Macro Adapter works like an 18mm & 30mm tube extension. Data are for focusing distance at 18 and 30mm adapter position and lens focused at minimum focusing distance or infinity. Super-Elmar-M 3,4/21mm asph. @f/4 84,3 - 84,5 mm = 0,89x (1:1,1) 87,0 - 86,7 mm = 1,46x (1:0,7) Elmar-M 3,8/24mm asph @f/4 97,4 - 98 mm 97,5 - 97,2 mm Summicron-M 2/28mm asph. @f/4 116,0 - 117,6 mm = 0,69x (1:1,5) 112,3 - 112,1 mm = 1,11x (1:0,9) Summicron-M 2/35mm asph. @f/4 151,4 - 156,1 mm = 0,57x (1:1,8) 140,3 - 140,8 mm = 0,91x (1:1,1) Summilux-M 1,4/50mm asph @f/4 234,8 - 256,9 mm = 0,44x (1:2,3) 207,3 - 213,3 mm = 0,68x (1:1,5) APO-Summicron-M 2/75mm asph @f/4 376,3 - 480,5mm 329,6 - 367,5 mm APO-Summicron-M 2/90mm asph @f/4 497,3 - 648 mm = 0,31x (1:3,2) 422,5 - 480 mm = 0,44x (1:2,3) For reference : Summilux-Q 1,7/28mm asph (4mm extension) 171,3 - 256 mm = 0,26x (1:3,9) I am too lazy to change the coma into a full stop. And I only use metrics too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBP1 Posted April 28, 2023 Share #106 Posted April 28, 2023 I have the Elmarit-TL 60mm f/2.8 ASPH with the CL but find it searches quite extensively when wanting to take macro images (16cm minimum focal length) On a tripod I use the self timer and when I press the shutter release it searches the focus again. Anyone with this experience and a workaround. Am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted April 28, 2023 Share #107 Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I suggest you try manual focus which I find superior in close up photography and much easier to control, especially with image magnification.. l don't possess the lens you are using, but the principle is similar. If working with handheld camera, try rocking to and fro, to find the sharpness you seek. Edited April 28, 2023 by wda 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonego@gmail.com Posted April 28, 2023 Share #108 Posted April 28, 2023 I agree with David, manual focus makes macro work easier. My 4 macro lenses 3 are Nikon, a 55 f2.8 AFD, a 105 f2.8 AiS and a 200 f4 AiS, my 4th is a 1960s 40mm Makro Kilar in Canon FD mount, 40mm is really too short for easy macro work. I am tempted with the TL 60mm, but it is also a little short. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
