Hi Jim, that was indeed a gorgeous lily. However, I have used my M6 on a
Viso with a 135mm tele-elmar lens head and the results were also
spectacular. I have given that up now and use the R8 and macro lens. It
just makes life simpler. I kept my bellows and have it set for my R8, too
cheap to buy the updated R bellows. I just have to be very careful when
attaching the body to the rear of the bellows. I also purchased a couple of
focusing rails and a right angle view finder. Now I go for the extremes and
just move the whole system on the rails. I had to do this because I was
shaking so much trying to hand hold. I really love the macro work with
flowers. Sometimes there is another floral landscape inside a flower that
is just never seen with the naked eye. Along with the shaking, my knees are
wearing out so it is a treat for me when I am up to walking down the street
and photographing the 'small' world.
Aren't Leicas magnificent?
Charles

This convinced me... R8 and 60mm macro a few years ago:

As many have said, the monitor doesn't do R glass justice.
