Subject: [Leica] voigtlander 90mm

question:

i'm thinking of getting a voigtlander 90mm apolanthar because i want to be 
able to do really tight portrait crops.  according to the tech specs, 
though, the minimum focusing distance is 1.9 meters.  i don't think that 
will be close enough for what i want to do.  will it focus closer when 
mounted on an M than with the thread mount?

i'm having a little trouble getting my mind around how close i can focus.  
if i put my 50mm on my M6, focus it to 1.9 meters, and then shift to the 
90mm framelines, that will show me what kind of distance i can get, right?
