if you're wanting close-up quality, you can do a lot worse than a 150 Euro, second hand Yashica 2.8/55mm Macro with an adapter to Canon 300D DSLR (Digital Rebel) - or on the front of a Contax RTS (some great bargains there). Yashica has always been so underrated as a lens manufacturer, even though their fixed lens RF cameras had the fastest, and some of the best lenses there were at the time (GSN with a 1.7/45mm and the dimunitive GX with a gorgeous 1.7/40mm) Douglas, my first camera was Yashica TL electro + Yashinon 1.4/50mm! Since then I migrated to Minolta Dynax/Maxxum, to Nikon, and now to Leica. I guess my journey is over.
I have no particular interest in macro photography. I`m just thinking that this particular multi-talent lens could be a great SL companion (plus some Ilford HP :-)) 

But thanks for your advice.

    Miha,

    if you're wanting close-up quality, you can do a lot worse than a
    150 Euro, second hand Yashica 2.8/55mm Macro with an adapter to
    Canon 300D DSLR (Digital Rebel) - or on the front of a Contax RTS
    (some great bargains there).

    I should have dusted the IIIG first- I know :-)

    Yashica has always been so underrated as a lens manufacturer, even
    though their fixed lens RF cameras had the fastest, and some of
    the best lenses there were at the time (GSN with a 1.7/45mm and
    the dimunitive GX with a gorgeous 1.7/40mm)

            Macro world could be great! I`m thinking of buying a
            macro-elmarit 60mm for
            my new SL as a main lens. But I have to see how it works
            in person. The
            focus throw worries me a bit.


        Just to whet your appetite, here are my favorite photos made
        with the 60 macro:
