Leica has announced the Elpro 52, a new close-up converter lens for select Leica M and TL lenses.
As its name suggests, the Elpro 52 can be screwed onto the front of any Leica M and TL lens that has a 52mm front filter thread. It also comes with stepping ring adapters so it`ll work with 46mm and 49mm front filter threads as well, making it compatible with more than 20 different lenses.
`The Leica Elpro 52 will expand upon the capabilities of selected Leica M- and TL-Lenses, making them more suitable for macro photography,` says Leica in the press release. `This lens holds true to the standard focusing and aperture settings Leica is known for, and ensures a light-weight and compact style as to not interfere with the lens handling while mounted.`

The lens is available now for $395. It comes with the two aforementioned stepping rings and a protective case to house it all. At the time of writing this, we`re unable to locate a purchase link at any retailer. We have reached out to Leica and will update the article accordingly when we hear back.
