Like the title says... can apply to any mount that can be converted over to M.

The new Sonnar looks like it'll be 0.9 (I think?), and I saw another 50 that goes down to 0.7. My G2's 45 planar goes to 0.5 Anything else? I like the tighter shots sometimes...

The old Nikkors in LTM focused to .5 meter or closer, but they lost their coupling after .7. With a digital M (or RD-1) and tripod, you'd be able to use trial and error.

Ah, so it is camera dependent. Hmmm. Okay! My Nikon 85/2 focuses to near 1m or 0.9 or 1.1 I don't remember where, but it's nice and tight. Just looking for 50 focal length, but that's cool.
