And what about Robot-to-Leica adaptors? I've seen one advertised and I'm
just wondering (getting really adventurous here) whether that would be
likely to offer any interesting optical opportunities- I don't really
know anything about Robots except that they take Tessars amongst other
things. Is this likely to be worth persuing with a view to putting Robot
lenses on an M6 (or am I finally going mad)?
