Subject: [Leica] Using Nikon F and Leica-R lenses on M body

I have some Nikon and R lenses that I would like to use on the (pre-
ordered) M8, such as the Nikkor 4/20 and the Leica 21-35R while 
waiting for the cash to (maybe) buy Leica M glass

It should be theoretically possible. There is a N to M adapter at 
http://www.cameraquest.com/adpSLRRF.htm . Has somebody had some 
experience in practical use?

R to M should be possible with a Leitz 22228 adapter. I found such 
an animal on the bay, but it will not take the newer (ROM) lenses I 
have. A Leica technician told me to find an R lens mount from a 
defective R body and mount it on the 22228. Any practical experience 
or other suggestions?

Thanks for your answers
Peter
