Recently, I purchased Leica’s 90mm elmar-macro.  It’s called a macro but in comparison to  other macro lenses you can only get 0.5m to your subject (19 inches).  I bought it for taking close-ups and for portraits.  It’s razor sharp and it’s collapsable, therefore it fits in my bag perfectly.

Here is a picture taken of my niece’s dog’s paw.  I love the sharpness and clarity.  This is an un-cropped image.
