This lens was the closest I found to be in focus. I was actually able to get a reasonable photo at one focus point, 15 foot mark on the lens, on the adapter. This is it. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/LeonardT/M8/Violet_9cm.jpg.html> or http://tinyurl.com/2sew6n This is what the setup looked like. I just set up the lens on 15 feet and moved the camera until the rangefinder said I was in focus. The actual distance from the lens to the flower was about two feet. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/LeonardT/M8/9cm_Macro.jpg.html> or http://tinyurl.com/3bxasl This lens costs about $100. Hope this helps.
