I have a few Pentax zooms with this, but they all seem to go no closer than about 0.4m despite the macro symbol.
Best bet is probably to find a suitable test subject and see how close you can get before the lens is unable to focus at various focal lengths.

It will work just like an ME Super with an M lens, although you have an LCD shutter speed readout in the viewfinder (and on the top plate) rather than the LEDs and scale.

Looking at some Leica history sites seems to imply that they changed models about as often as Pentax currently do in their early years, presumably in response to their experience with the format.

Look at close-up lenses/filters. You'll need to find the correct size but it's probably your best bet. I doubt you'll find the adapter for sale on its own, in my experience things like this either come with the lens or become a lengthy quest to track down.

What you need is normally called an extension tube - it fits between camera and lens to allow much closer focusing. They usually come in sets of three pieces which you use in different combinations to vary the length of the tube.

Organic is optional
Free Range is not!

Then again, the heading is "most influential". Did Polaroid lead to hordes of people picking up their first camera, as the Kodak did?

That way if you suspect your work is being targetted by petty vindictive types you can just stop them from rating it.
