I use it in my Contax G2 and I know that someone whose name cannot remember 
makes the necessary transformation for using in Leica M. Very, very 
expensive work. I even saw some pictures with Leica and  don't see it as to 
be much better than  Voigtl?nder 12 or 15mm. I'm using now the 12mm with the 
M8 and I am happy with the results.
