Subject: Nikon/Canon/Pentax/Exakta Lenses on M

Canon made an adapter B which allowed FD lenses to be used on Leica S
bodies with infinity focus.  Add the Leica M adapter, and you can use
Canon FD Lenses on the M.

Canon also made:
	E adapter to use Exakta lenses on Canon FD
	P adapter to use Pentax S lenses on Canon FD
	N adapter to use Nikon F lenses on Canon FD

all adapters allow manual use only, no coupling.

So, if you add the N adapter to the B adapter to the Bayonet adapter,
you can use the Nikon 20/2.8 AF lens on your M, etc.  while you have to
scale focus, for wide angles this is quite usable.
