Thanks for you responses. > It is the same lens...just one is an M-mount and one is a screw mount. All the screw to M adaptor does is to change the registration of the lens by 1mm. As long as the adaptor is machined properly, there will be no problem. I don't have any Leica adaptors. If you get an aftermarket adapter, try to make sure that the lens ends up centered (you might have to try several adaptors to find one just right).
