Subject: [Leica] Macro adapter with lenses other than Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm

Dear All,

I bought a used 3-cam Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm lens and persuaded the
dealer to include the macro adapter in the deal. This adpater has its
own aperture ring. When attached, it encloses the base of the lens so
that the lens's aperture ring is invisible. You must set the aperture
on the lens itself to f/22 before you can mount it on the adapter. All
this works fine. 

However, I've found that I cannot mount my 3rd-cam-only Elmarit-R 90mm
on the macro adapter. I haven't tried to force it (!) but they're
clearly incompatible. I wonder if this macro adpter is dedicated to the
60mm macro lens or is it supposed to work with other lenses too? If so,
which ones?

Regards,


=====
