Re: [Leica] M to R adapter - is there such a thing?

Won't matter that much, George. The flange-to-film distance of the R cameras
is simply too great to focus a "normal" M lens anywhere near infinity.

I've wanted to play with these adapters as well. The only M-lens to R-body
adapter I've found is a viso to R adapter which provides far more extension
than I'd like. I'm begining to think about the machine shop approach - as
one could make a very thin adapter. I'd like to find parts to hack something
together.
