I only tried that 90 (briefly) without its dedicated macro adaptor. I don't 
think that you can use other nineties on its adaptor.
The macro 90(without its adaptor) focused closer than my Elmarit M. Maybe 
75cm versus 1m for mine as tried casually in the Leica
dealers. You might need that closer range, I think.

Cheers
Hoppy

I have tried a few lenses on it including a LTM 9cm Elmar. The focus  
is way off on all of them.
