Sorry; I don't have any actual adapter, and I don't know if any exist 
- - I just held the Noctilux in front of the Canon camera (D60) to see 
where the focus would be. As the front lens is just 2 to 3 inches 
from the subject, it didn't interest me further.

With a very compact adapter (Leica-M to EOS direct) the biggest field 
of view you could hope for is about 5.5 or 6cm wide.
