They cost $250 delivered. >Yours, >Daniel Eppelsheimer >dseppels@mit.edu I know this is a stupid question, but could you please tell me exactly what one can do with this adapter. ie, am I right to think it allows one to use R lenses on M cameras? Does it link the cams to give rangefinder focus and which cam lenses can it use? I do not have R lenses, but they are often available second hand and the wide angle optics are often cheaper than a second hand M lens, so perhaps there is an option of combining the systems at at least one end of the "scale" should I decide to trade in the Minolta SLR gear for a Leica system.
