A friend of mine used to have one ... not a real common item. WARNING: PURE SPECULATION TO FOLLOW if USING a leica 2x teleconverter with an SL is the issue, look in to getting the camera-end bayonet of an R-only teleconverter changed to an SL bayonet. You'd have to use stop-down metering if this can be done. The critical question is whether any lens elements protrude too far in to the mirror box. END SPECULATION MODE I did this to my 14256 macro-adapter-r. Why Leica didn't make it SL-compatible and tell everyone "use stop-down metering with Leicaflex cameras" is beyond me.
