[Leica] Leica Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm f/2.8 Lens

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Thanks, Lluis. I have also heard a lot of good words about this lens. 
Perhaps the photos I have seen with the front portion extended are just from 
the extension due to focusing action. I understand that the extender can be 
used to get down to 1:1.
