The traditional Leica LTM to M adapter uses standard LTM lenses, and spaces
the body mount out from the body to match the LTM body specs.
If it will not focus to infinity with a ( traditional ) adapter, it will not
focus to infinity with a LTM body......

Or it is a different, and thicker, adapter......or we are all the recipients
of a bad translation.....

The Miyazaki Tessar cannot focus to infinity when fitted with an M mount
adaptor.  Nevertheless, it's the smallest 35mm lens usable on a Leica M.
They get a star, if not four stars, for that. (T*)
