Bonjour Xavier,
Thanks for your input. I acquired an Elpro 3
on ebay on impulse because it was dirt cheap,
and it in fact does offer me a bit more
versatility for close up work in the 1:7 to
1:3 range. You're right, the 60mm goes to
1:2 or even 1:1 with the Macro Adapter, which was
also absurdly cheap. Since close up work was
a major reason for my branching out from
Leica M -- the other reason being short-tele
work -- I'm a happy camper.
Amicalement,
Peter.
