hi Victor,
I use the macro adapter + 180mm lens.  I try to use the macro adapter with 
my 50mm summicron and it ain't work.  the reason it does not work is that 
the end of the 50mm lens somehow touch the inner part of macro adapter 
therefore, it won't let me to focus all the way to infinitive end.  I really 
want to have a good macro lens.  I am thinking of geting 105mm f2.8 n*k0n 
lens for my N***0n FM2n.  then when i have more $$$ i will jump for 100 apo 
macro leica lens.

with 180mm, the only way to use it for macro is getting adapter with close 
up lens that cokin have.  my 180mm is a series VIII filter.  I can not find 
any Series VIII closeup filter for it :(((

I bought 2 close up filter VIIa and VIIB and none of these fit into my leica 
50mm summicron E55.  both are smaller than the lens thread.

:(((

thank you for give me suggestion.  Yes, I think my photo are over exposure 
too because I use flash and without knowing flash effect on picture interm 
of distance.  I was lucky to get this one just about what i like.

Olivier
