What this means is that if you ever did make an adapter, it would be like mounting the M lens with a 17mm or so extension tube. If you wanted to use your 75mm summilux, it would probably be extended so far from the film that it would only focus on macro subjects. You probably could make or get a mount adapter to fit a Pentax on the Leica M, as they have that 17.51mm to make an adapter ring. Leica already makes an R to M adapter. If I could find one, I have a Russian R mount Fisheye that would be fun to use on my M6.

I was thinking of the 75 summilux in particular...since it's a great portrait lens, I don't need it out to infinity...Does anyone make such an adaptor, or a series of adaptors that would alllow this?</bigger> <bigger>Isaac</bigger> </excerpt>
