I made use of the close-focus attachment of the 50mm Dual Range (DR) for this image.
I have always admired the build quality of Leica M3 cameras but like many photographers often found the 1 m close-focus distance too limiting. The DR solves this problem and gets me even closer than I’m used to when photographing with an M-series camera.
At first I thought that attaching/removing the extra hardware would prove impractical/cumbersome but in practice it hasn’t held me back. In fact, the engineering and design behind the Dual Range is quite well thought out and the system is simply a delight to use.

Great! So natural, organic! And the grain does not bother me! I like the transition of/ to the shades!..I can hear music…..
Very nice. Love the texture and tone, too.
Thank you Andreas and Karim!
… A most excellent image, Peter …
