[Leica] IMG: Macro Lens with Extension

[Tina Manley]

Impressive!! I have the same extension for the 100 Macro and it's very hard to hand hold. You did a great job! I look froward to seeing more with this combination if you can find co-operative subjects!

This requires placing the lens just a few inches from the subject and moving slightly to achieve focus.  This first image of a bee is the full image vertically, with only the ends cropped to remove extraneous plant matter.
