The Leica R is .5mm. longer, to be precise. ( Hmmmnn, I wonder why someone would have made THAT decision....) As for an adapter, you could probably find a good Nikon body for less $$s that it would cost to have the lens adapted. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
