Since I do a lot of photographing of art work, I got the Macro Elmarit-R 1:2.8 60mm lens. This is to replace my Contax 139 with a 50 mm 1:1.7 lens. Believe it or not, both of these carmera have the same size camera bodies (very compact). Leica's Macro lens does protrude quite a bit further then the Contax lens does, however. I have never been able to get used to automatic cameras, which is one reason I bought this one, strictly manual just like my Contax was. My first trial around the neighborhood proved that it will be easy to get used to.
