Leica 1:1 Macro Adapter for TCAM Lenses

The Leica Macro Adapter-R (30mm)for Tcam Lenses is an accessory exclusively designed for use with the Leica R lenses, to shoot subjects at closer distance with higher magnification. Actual magnification effect changes with each specific lens. Recommended for use with lenses over 50mm.

Extension tubes are designed to enable a lens to focus closer than its normal set minimum focusing distance. Getting closer has the effect of magnifying your subject (making it appear larger in the viewfinder and in your pictures). They are exceptionally useful for macro photography, enabling you to convert almost any lens into a macro lens at a fraction of the cost, while maintaining its original optical quality.

The extension tubes have no optics. They are mounted in between the camera body and lens to create more distance between the lens and the film plane. By moving the lens father away from the film or CCD sensor in the camera, the lens is forced to focus much closer than normal. The greater the length of the extension tube, the closer the lens can focus.
