Macro Elmar-M 90mm minimum focus distance on Voigtlander VM-E adapter

[kumimajava]

Long-time reader/lurker surfacing with a question 🙂 Suppose it goes to show how much great content is already on here that I've found everything else I'd been interested in without having to (re-)ask the questions myself 🙂 So many thanks to everyone contributing to the forum!

I've been having great fun using my Leica M-mount lenses on the Sony A7rII with the Voigtlander VM-E adapter, and was wondering how this influences the minimum focus distance on the 90mm Macro-Elmar?

I'm currently using a 90mm Elmarit, which focuses down to about 1m without using the VM-E built-in extension, and to about 80cm with the adapter fully extended. I'd be curious to know how much closer I could get with the macro-elmar. So if anyone on here would have that combo, I'd really appreciate your input 🙂

I have tried searching for this info on the forum, but couldn't find anything - apologies if this has been asked before.

I've heard from others that this adapter causes a hard vignette with the 90mm lens, while others (Novoflex) do not. Did u notice this? (sorry if it is going off on a tangent)

Strange never had that problem that Huss mentions. Can't remember what the closest focus was - when I had the Macro-Elmar. Try Leica User's Forum

No noticing any vginette prolems on the 90mm I have, but not sure about the Macro Elmar - will keep it in mind.

@Shac, thanks for the suggestion, will head over there and ask too 🙂
