Tom,

I played around a little bit more with the LTM 9cm and macro adapter on the
M8. This lens was the closest I found to be in focus. I was actually able to
get a reasonable photo at one focus point, 15 foot mark on the lens, on the
adapter. This is it.

This is what the setup looked like. I just set up the lens on 15 feet and
moved the camera until the rangefinder said I was in focus. The actual
distance from the lens to the flower was about two feet.

This lens costs about $100.

Hope this helps.
