Advertisement Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Hi hepcat, Take a look here These just arrived. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
TomB_tx Posted January 25, 2023 Share #2 Posted January 25, 2023 Very nice! I bought that bellows and the short bellows-mount version of the 100 macro Elmar in about 1969-70, and it can do great work. Mine still looks new: I guess I haven't used it enough! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda hard to wear a bellows out unless you're beating them day in and day out though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I am "frugal" and never had the money to buy any of this new "in the day," this is probably the closest to new anything I've ever owned with "E. Leitz" or "Leica" engraved on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpitt Posted January 25, 2023 Share #7 Posted January 25, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Great! Now, go and use it to bits 🙂 I have the short one with bellows, and a normal mount. The normal mount gets out more often. Results are very goo with both. I do not have the APO macro, unless you count my Macro-Elmar M 90, but it gets very close. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to become my negative digitizing setup on my old copy stand and using my light box and enlarger negative carriers. I'm tired of scanning with my Epson V600. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 60mm Macro-Elmar may work better. YMMV of course! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV of course! I have a Hexanon 55mm macro I can put into play if necessary. I prefer the 100mm focal length for most things. I have the Sigma 150 f/2.8 OS macro as well.

ramarren Posted January 31, 2023 Share #12 Posted January 31, 2023 Good luck with it, Roger! I have the same Leitz Focusing Bellows-R and Macro-Elmar-R 100mm f/4 set. It's a very good lens, but for 35mm negative copy I prefer a shorter focal length. The Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm does very well, but my old single cam Summicron-R 50mm f/2 does even better for higher magnification needs (like when I'm doing Minox negative copy) because it has a bit flatter field and handles extreme magnifications (up to 3:1) better. Which reminds me: I need to send my Summicron-R 50mm off for a CLA... G 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Could you please post a photo and details of your setup for 35mm negative copy using the 50/2, and any comments or caveats on obtaining satisfactory results.
