I have only casually been reading the thread on the 85 and 105 mm Nikon 
lenses because I thought that they were only used on Nikon cameras.  Now the 
light has dawned on me that such acronyms as TLM (or TML) probably refer 
to some way a Nikon 85 or 105 mm (screw-mount? bayonet-mount?) lens can 
be used within the Leica M system.  Is this correct?  How is the Leica 
rangefinder cam engaged?  I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has 
successfully mounted a Nikon 105mm lens to an M body with full 
rangefinder functionality. How does one do this?  

In one of the threads, someone said that there were quite a few of these 
in Europe.  I do not recall seeing any here in the US.  Any info would be 
appreciated.  Thanks, Ed Kowaleski
