Here are some more examples from my today's dog walk all shot with the lens head attached to the macro focusing adapter on the Ricoh GXR-M and all at apertures from F5.6 to F11 (macros with F11) and also one infinity shot with the same outfit. Just resized as usual. All taken free hand without flash, but mainly under direct sunlight at noon time. I am unable to dedect any real visible weaknesses of the lens although I've tried hard to expose it to critical light situations.

Those look nice and sharp. I'd try using -0.5 exposure compensation as they look a little overexposed. I find I have to use -0.5 with most of my digicams as they seem to favour the shadows in their metering, even my a850 benefits from -0.5 compensation. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Well, as I am used to spot metering to keep the full control as used from the old analog times and shooting RAW, still the pictures could be easily exposure corrected afterwards.
However, I'll try your advice and see if that's better right from the beginning.
If I find my old grey card (still searching) I could easy adjust the metering to the optimum. I've done that in the film times to optimize the whole process including developing up to the final picture also with the light meter for the enlarging process.
Digital is still somehow different.
However, I think you can now agree that if stopped down a little bit this lens is more than just O.K. after more than 40 years of usage. _________________ Thomas Bernardy

Hi Stephen, thanks for the compliment. If my memory serves me right the cherry blooms have been shot at F4 and the bee at F8.
The combination of the Visoflex adapter and the lens head gives you a very versatile (almost macro-) lens from close focus (as shown here) up to infinity. Very recommendable. The normal focus helicoid stays therefore always at home. _________________ Thomas Bernardy

Thanks for the info Thomas. I wonder if the 'old' Elmarit really blossoms when used on an extension bellows (or tubes). My 1953 135 Hektor certainly performs very well that way on a mirrorless body. Time to begin looking for an affordable Elmarit _________________ Stephen

Stephen, my first version Elmarit (produced from 1959 to 1974) is from 1972 and proves that it performs very well on extensions. Same is true for my Elmar 135 from 1961.
With a little bit of luck you should be able to find an old Elmarit 90 starting from about 200 Euro. Good luck!
Here's an (quick and dirty) example picture with the Elmarit head on Bellows at F11. Distance from lens to object was apprx. 5 inches.
