Sal,
I very nearly bought one of those lenses (7.5mm f5.6) recently, c/w with finder, for around $450.
Novoflex sell those Nikon-F to Leica-M adapters for 300DM 'off the shelf' but that's around $150, you'vce got a good priced mechanic there!

For those of you out there who really want a fish-eye on your M-camera,
I suggest you do what I did......
Get a 7.5mm f.5.6 Fish-Eye Nikkor and send it to Professional Camera
Repair Service in New York City so they can make a Nikon 'F' to Leica 'M'
adapter ring.
The other choice is the older 8mm f/8 Fish-Eye Nikkor.
Neither lens will meter with an M6 since the rear element is either lens
is only a couple of millimeters away from the film plane.
The lenses are very hard to find, and expensive, but the adapter ring
shouldn't cost more than $75.00US...
Happy Snaps,
