It focuses to .77M and gives a 1:6.7 photo. If you compare this to the 90mm summicron which focuses to only 1M and gives a 1:9 photo. Second best I would say is the 75mm Summicron. Focus to .7M and gives 1:7 magnification. I would not use the 75mm Summilux close up with an M8 because of the back focus issues with this lens. I shoot about 75 flower photos per month with the 90 macro and mostly without goggles.
