>> The Leica Elmarit-R 60 Macro lens comes with an add-on rear extension for ultra-closeup work.  This is difficult to handle hand-held, but I tried it, none-the-less.  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.
