Hi there Godfrey,Absolutely lovely photos, Knorp!
Who cares if a bumblebee isn't supposed to be able to fly? ;-)
(Curiously, macro work is the first stuff I ever shot with a Leica RF camera. I used a Hektor 135mm lens on a short mount with Visoflex and bellows ...)

Well Vivek, your bunch of accessories seem to work fine togetherLocated a bunch of accessories and had to try if they all work together.

Hope you'll give it a try one day, Louis.First try with an M + R APO 100/2.8. I have the Elpro, but never tried it.

LOL!... But what's up with the bumblebee ? Did I miss something (as usual) ? ...
Looking great, Vivek !Bart, One of these days, I will get around to it.
OK, it did not take long!
The focus helicoid (same as the one you are using with the Summar 8cm lens but in chrome) with the proper adapter is on the left, in the back is the Hektor 135/4.5, on the right, a 50mm Milar (red box), next to the lens is the actual specimen used for the Macro.
