| The Leica Macro Elmar-M 90mm f4 is designed
to maintain very high optical performance even at distances
much shorter than the usual 2.3 feet (0.70cm). In connection
with the Leica Macro Adapter-M, this lens allows shots
with a reproduction ratio up to 1:3.
The Leica Angle Viewfinder M can be used on all Leica
models except the first M3 Series (Production year 1954).
It shows a large round upright, and un-reversed central
section of the viewfinder image of approximatly .3 inches.
With it's freely rotatable 45 degree eyepiece, it makes
it considerably easier to view the subject in all situations,
where the photographer does not want to hold the camera
exactly in front of his/her eye, for example in case
of reproductions.
Especially for close-ups close to the ground with the
Leica Macro-Elmar M 90mm f/4, utilizing the Angle Viewfinder
M allows for a much more comfortable posture.
When the Angle Viewfinder M is not being used, it can
be stored in it's matching high-grade leather case that
is included with the Angle Viewfinder M.
The LEICA MACRO-ADAPTER-M was specifically developed
as an accessory for the LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90mm f/4.
It allows close focusing from 0.77m (reproduction ratio
1:6,7) down to 0.5m (reproduction ratio 1:3).
When the lens is to be used in its close-focusing range
from 0.77 to 0.5m, the LEICA MACRO-ADAPTER-M is attached
to the camera body instead of the lens. The lens is
then mounted on the adapter after rotating it 180°,
i.e. with its lower side turned up. In this position,
a second pair of distance and depth of field scales
for the respective focusing range becomes visible, enabling
easy reading from above.
The LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90mm f/4 is available both
in black anodized and silver chrome finish. It comes
with a dedicated separate metal lens hood. The Adapter
is delivered with a practical leather case featuring
a belt loop.
