Leica Macro Adapter

Hi,

I just got a Leica Macro adapter to use with my M240. I don't have the collapsible 90mm f/4 but I have plenty of other options. I got everything connected but I can't focus the rangefinder any closer than one would expect (even with the adapter extended all the way). I can't seem to find any information online about using this macro adapter. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or have some tips?

Thanks!

This adapter works with live view only.

from the Leica Site

The Leica Macro-Elmar-M 90 mm f/4 and the Macro-Adapter-M form together a convenient solution for close distance photography using the live view function of the Leica M (Typ 240).

Hi,

Thank you, jankap! I am kind of slow. I also figured out, duh, I wasn't focusing *close  enough* and have gotten it to work properly. I haven't found any official documentation on use of the macro adapter w/o the collapsible tel-del-mar, either. Anyway, thanks friends.
