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.
Our dog Abby is known for her facial expressions. She’s a very intelligent dog always trying to figure out what we are doing and what we are saying. I snapped this picture soon after I received my Leica M9 and 50mm summilux.

I can’t recall if I have ever posted any pictures of our dog Abby. We have a soon to be 12 year old Border Collie. She was purchased from Wildblue Border Collies and was flown to us from Lubbock Texas. She has been a phenomenal pet and is truly part of the family. She is probably the most docile dog I’ve ever met and has been fantastic having her around our baby girl.
This picture was taken a few years ago with my Canon 5D MarkII using a wide angle lens.
