Luis, No you do not lose a stop - it stays a f2 lens with either adapter, and it screws into the existing lens using the filter thread, and adds a bit to the bulk, so it is totally different in concept from the Tri Elmar. I think the Leica obsession with keeping M lenses compact in size will probably mean there never will be fast zooms or a f2.8 Tri Elmar.. Fuji still manages to keep everything compact because they have opted for a smaller APS-C sensor.
