This is the most tiny 2x macro lens in the 85-90 range I have ever used. The copy I tried is in M mount which provides focus coupling on Leica camera up to 0.7M. This light weight macro lens will be a good candidate for anyone who want to a macro lens for digital M camera with EVF or any FF MILC camera. Precise focus is needed as this is an internal focus macro lens, especially from 1:2 to 2:1. Burst mode will improve the chance of getting sharp photos. As there are plenty of review in the web, I am not going to repeat everything here. Wink

Here are some photos taken with my A7RII. As usual, I use the default Lightroom settings with only adjustment to the exposure. Some heavy cropping of certain photos as it is impossible for me to fill the frame handle.
