I'm using a 14256 macro adapter, which provides the same extension as the dedicated adapter for the 60mm macro lens, but I've modified mine so that it will work with the SL as well as with R bodies. The dedicated adapter, particularly a 3-cam version, works with SL or R. The modification to my 14256 was to replace the R-only bayonet with a Leicaflex-compatible flange; the restriction is that I must use stop-down metering with the SL, but I can also use it with any lens, not just with the 60.
