The included tube only permits infinity to about 3.25 feet. T get closer you need the OTQNO/16468 extension tube. I can supply you with one or two of those. Frankly, I prefer to use the Leica Bellows 2 setup when doing macros with the Leica. It avoids the constant screwing and unscrewing of adapters.
