Subject: [Leica] Leica macro work (FAQ?)

I'd like to experiment with some macro photography (rocks & minerals,
specifically), but I've never done this with a Leica system before.  I
have an M6 and IIIf body available.  I'll be working mostly in B&W, but
possibly some color negative as well.

What should I be considering in the way of lenses and other
attachments to do this sort of work?  Lighting tips would be useful,
too.  I've seen some excellent macro work done with the Hektor 135mm,
which I'm keeping an eye out for, but I assume I need other
attachments as well.
