Now that puts the 'close' in 'close-up'!
Like you, Art, I wouldn't give up my 6T (bought used for $20 inc. tax from=
a dealer who didn't know what he had!) for anything. Results with the=
Leitz ELPRO's and 50 Summicron are better, however. This, I think, is=
because the 6T (as with most close-up lenses) is designed to work with any=
number of lenses. The ELPRO VIa & VIb were computed to work with only the=
1st version of the 50 Summicron. (The Elpro 1 & 2 are the E55 versions for=
the 2nd version of the 50/2.) Because they were only for use with one=
lens, they were heavily optimized.
I have an article on this coming out in, I understand, the next issue of=
the LHSA's Viewfinder magazine.
