An adapter ring = of 15 mm depth (14020) increases the range from 3 m. to 1.7 m. two = adapter rings increase the range from 1.7 m. to 1.3 m. Shorter = distances can be focused with the universal focusing bellows. There were also finders that could be used if you were not using the = Viso on the M (an extension tube, (14039) of the same depth instead). = These included the STF 100. I have also seen the lens used with an = open-frame sports finder. When I added an R-6 to my M (the R-6s being as close as you can get to = an M in operation), I was going to sell the 200. But then I tried it on = the R-6 and have decided that it creates the Leica look that I like and, = while it is somewhat of a pain to use, the results are worth it. Just my opinion and not posted on the LUG as flamebait or to be = ostracized and invited to leave. Bill Larsen
