This Leica Macro Adapter is specifically designed for the 90mm F4 Elmar. This macro adapter can be attached and just left on the lens. In the unextended position, both adapter and front lens set unextended, you can use the lens for field focus (all the way out to infinite) as well as a limited amount of macro extension. IF you need full macro, twist and extend the the front of the lens and that will give you maximum edge to edge sharpness and close focus. Personally, this is my favorite lens (with adapter attached set up) because of its combined, so versatile, very light weight and range of use. ( i own 5 new FLE, coded, M lenses) The adapter can be used with all of the new M glass with the coding and that info will be recorded by the camera so you know in PS what lens and F stop you used. I have this attached to a SL2 body (vis a via Leica's SL to M adapter) and the lens data is transferred automatically. The Macro adapter, used on any other lens other than the 90 Elmar for close focusing is not recommended, ALL other Leica M lens are not designed for maximum performance with the adapter and you will experience degraded sharpness and lens. You may want to use that quality as a creative effect, but don't expect the adapter to give you something it is not designed for. Best of Luck. Make Great Art!

The Leica Macro-Adapter for M-Mount Lenses is placed between the camera and M-mount lens to increase the lens-to-sensor distance and achieve maximum reproduction ratios up to 1:2 for close-up shooting. Its design incorporates a helical screw system, which can be used to vary the adapter's extension length between 0.7-1.2" for greater flexibility in setting a closer focusing distance than the lens natively allows as well as increasing the reproduction ratio. The adapter is designed for use on Leica cameras featuring a live view function (such as the M Type 240) and lenses with focal lengths greater than 28mm.
