Subject: [Leica] FS: UET-R macro adapter

FS: Universal Extension Tube-R, my modification of the 14198 extension tube. 
 The UET-R accepts most R lenses regardless of cam configuration and may be 
used on any Leica reflex body with accurate full-aperture metering on all 
except the Leicaflex Standard.  For example you can use a single-cam 90mm 
Elmarit-R for close-ups on any body and it will meter accurately on the SL, 
SL2, and any R body from the R3 through R9.  Likewise a ROM 100 APO can be 
used on the same bodies for close-up work.  Leica's options are either the 
14256/14299 Macro-Adapter-R which can be used only on R bodies and will 
meter accurately only if the lens has the 3rd cam, the standard 14198 which 
can be used only with the 60mm Macro, or the divisible extension rings which 
offer no auto-diaphragm or meter coupling.  US $125 plus shipping.
