IIRC, when I tried using that adapter with the 19mm R, I found it
lacked the groove which would allow that lens to mount on it. In
other words, you end up with the same limitations on using it to
mount wide angle R lenses on an M, as you have when using wide angle
R lenses on a Leicaflex SL. Apparently, the adapter was intended to
mount the R Macro lenses on the Visoflex bellows, not to allow you to
avoid buying M wideangle lenses by using your R lenses.
