Implicit

I bought one for £39. I should receive it soon, I'll post my findings here when i get around to doing it

Aparently, Leica isn't very organized with its closeups. I found this:

http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/ELPRO

 

and this:

http://photo.net/leica-rangefinders-forum/002myZ

 

In the first links, there are two different results for the VII A (with the 90mm and with the 135mm), both pretty close to +1. No information on the threads, though.

 

Googling about them, I found out that both have 55mm threads, so, I believe there's only one kind of VII A, and its result differs between lenses (not sure why that happens, but the variation is very slight).

 

According to this - http://***URL removed***/forums/post/50777111 - the VI, are achromatics, so I believe the VIIs are too. (all other ELPROs are)

 

In just one line, it looks like a 55mm thread, +1, leica achromatic close up.

 

 

Thanks for the info. I think the VIIb version is the one to go for, its unfortunate about the size of it though. Do you think it will be good on a Proskar or Kowa 35mm (the big silver one)?

What do you guys think of this close up lens? The leica Elpro VIIA

This site have only listed up to Elpro4. I was if any one has used one of these before and know how good they are?
