But maybe you should pick up an enlarger lens. Enlarger lenses make
great flat field copy and macro lenses. Many have 39mm Leica screw
threads. From the days long ago when you'd use your Leica's 50mm lens
in your enlarger as well.
You could adapt one to 4/3's mount via a Leica M39 to Pentax M42 and M42
to 4/3 or Leica M39 to T-2 mount and T-2 to 4/3's.
