It's VERY flexible and will accomodate just about any camera and lens. Be careful trying to do stitched panoramas with a Leica M. For the panoramas to to turn out right, the camera must turn level around the nodal point of the lens. With an SLR, you can determine the nodal point by looking through the viewfinder and observing the parrallex shift. With an M camera, you will probably have to do some experimentation and film testing and carefully record your settings discover where the nodal point is for each lens.
