Oufro macro tube + Leica M glass on Sony A7ii

[adonnan]

I purchased the a7ii as a complimentary camera to my Leica M240. I already had a Fotasy LM-NEX adapter laying around, which I also paired with the OUFRO type macro tube to use Leica lenses in macro mode on either camera. The results are quite pleasing. For macro purposes the Leica 28mm is hard to beat. To my knowledge, this combination is cheaper than using the helicoid adapters that are currently on the market. I've tested the following lenses and quickly measured the new minimum focus distance.

 

Leica 28mm 2.8 - min focus distance reduced from .7m to .05m (2")

Voightlander 35mm 1.2 - min focus distance reduced from .7m to .08m (3") 

Leica 50mm 1.4 - min focus distance reduced from .7m to .17m (7")

Leica 75mm 2.0 - min focus distance reduced from .7m to .31m (12.5")
