Hello, greetings to all, this is a big forum. I am new, do not dominate the groins apologize. I have a question, would like me buy the accesorio for the Leica 50 summicron, the LEICA ELPRO 2 CLOSE-UP ATTACHMENT does not matter me used. Your opinion for this, and I like see photos done with this.

 

Thank you, very kind.

I've used the Elpro 1 and Elpro 2 (as well as the Macro Adapter) with the 50 Summicron R (which I presume is what you are talking about).

 

I've had good results with all of these (though I can't post because I use film, and don't always have everything scanned when I have my films processed.

 

Obviously, results are not quite as good as with a dedicated macro lens (not qute as good at the edges) but still very creditable, and the Summicron seems quite tolerant of being pushed about in this way.

 

The Elpro 2 is a two element achromat and is beautifully made (in the old fashioned Leitz tradition) but is no longer available new.

 

The Elpro and 50/2 give a magnification range of 1:3.9 to 1:2.6. When used also in combination with the Macro Adapter you get 1:1.2 to 1:1.04. Obviously depth of field is very limited indeed.

 

There is one available second-hand for £25 (as well as a Macro Adapter) at

(though I've got to declare an interest in that I know who is selling it on commission through this dealer).

 

Hope this helps.
