Musasi at Kanagawa, Japan (FAX +81-427-51-9200) sells Contax RF->Leica SM
adapter. There are two types.

47k/1	with this, RF works but the ad says they are production on demand.
47h/2	RF non-coorperation version, 38,000 yen (= USD350-400).

As you can guess, 47k/1 (probably that you want) might be expensive.

They have some weird things on the list, Musasi Universal Helicoid adapter,
G1 Hologon converted to Leica M, TV Canon 50mm/F0.95 Leica M mount, etc...
Check it out!!!
