Having fun with this lens and its close focus capabilities in general

Thanks Tom, pleasure doing business with you.
First shot from K-3 @ K105 f2,8

Ex Contax I believe. Acts as a standard K lens. Leitz Weitzlar Macro Elmarit-R.

K-3 @ Leica 60 Macro @ f/4

Hi Andy,

It is up to around 3 meters and in that area is revelling in the resolution of the K-3. After that it seems to tail off a bit from a sharpness perspective. Now this is only conjecture on my behalf until I can prove it, but I think its conversion from Contax mount to K Mount is not the best and it is probably going beyond infinity on the focusing ring.

Appreciate the comment.

S!

Taken this lunchtime for my daily shot. K-3 & Leica 60/2.8 Macro @ about f/4

K-3 and Leica 60/2.8

The Leica in this case is a Leitz Wetzlar Macro Elmarit 2.8/60 that has a declicked aperture ring and converted to K - mount. Both shots taken using this lens and Pentax K-3.
First one = ISO400, 1/25s, f/2.8
Second one = ISO100, 1/400s, f/2.8 but a bit closer. I cropped this a bit because Max had been in a scuffle with another neighbourhood bully cat and his ear is a bit dirty
