Leica X Vario: Close-Up Samples (With Close-up Lenses)

Sample Photos - Comparisons Using the Same Motif | Sample Photos - A Mixed Bag...

This page presents sample photos that demonstrate the close-up facilities of the "pure" Leica X Vario with one or more any close-up lenses. Some of these photos might even be called "macros"... I focus on the diopters of the lens or lens combination, not on the specific lenses (close-up lenses or achromats).

Sample Photos - Comparisons Using the Same Motif

The following photos were taken without any close-up lens, with the Marumi +5 and the Dörr +10 achromat, with both achromats, and finally with both achromats and a B+W +5 close-up lens, to demonstrate the kinds of macro photos that you can use them for on a Leica X Vario. The photos were taken with manual or autofocus (distance 30 cm, 70 mm focal length equiv., f/11, ISO 800). Note that these photos primarily serve to demonstrate the achievable magnification, not the sharpness. Using both achromats (and more...) together requires a tripod for acceptable results (high ISO values may help a little if you do not use a tripod...).
