close focusing

[rueyloon]

hello

hi, I'm looking for a 50mm lens that is able to focus close. Which lens allows the closest focussing ? I know the Hexar 50mm is 70mm, any thing else ? and no, I'm not talking about the leica close focussing lens either

cheers

Nikkor50mmf2, Nikkor50mmf1.4, Tanar50mmf2, Tanar50mmf1.8, Tanar50mmf2.8. However, they are not RF-coupled below 3.5feet, thus guesstimation required & probably need digital RF camera too.

Elmar 65mm with Visoflex, and extension tube is your best bet.

I'm not doing macro, just need something that can let me go in about 60mm ?

The Elmar can also do non macro.

viewfinders would not adjust below 0.7m without goggles nor rangefinders couple (with the exception of the 50DR and 90Macro when engaged for close focusing). if you don't want to consider using the goggled leicas, then can consider some in gommy's list and either guesstimate / measure exact distance to focal plane. else, i think it's back to nikon and canon for the 0.45m...
