The LEICA MACRO-Adapter-M (14652) is a dedicated macro adapter designed for the Leica M system that significantly expands the macro capabilities of compatible M-mount lenses. By placing this adapter between your Leica M camera and a suitable lens, you can dramatically reduce the minimum focusing distance, enabling close-up photography without the need for a dedicated macro lens.
When used with appropriate lenses, the adapter provides approximately 0.76× magnification, permitting closer focusing to subjects and capturing intricate details, textures, and dimensionality that would otherwise be difficult to achieve. Aperture control remains fully with the attached lens, meaning you retain complete control over exposure and depth of field.
This adapter is entirely mechanical — it does not feature electronic contacts or motors. Focusing is performed manually via the lens itself, preserving the tactile Leica M experience and giving photographers complete creative control. Its compact and lightweight design adds minimal bulk and weight to your system, yet significantly enhances functionality.
The LEICA MACRO-Adapter-M is ideal for detailed portraiture, product photography, creative macro work, and any scenario where closer focus yields more expressive and revealing images. It’s a practical and cost-effective way for photographers to extend their reach into macro photography without purchasing a dedicated macro lens, while maintaining the optical excellence Leica is known for.
