I have also ordered a T to M adapter so I can use M lenses on the SL but I
really think they will do better on the M240, especially the wide ones.
The T to M adapter is also needed to use R lenses on the SL and I imagine
that's what I will do more often; however, I did get this because it will
autofocus, supposedly very efficiently.  I will start out using the 24-90
to learn how to use the camera.  I've printed out the manual and will start
to study it tonight!
