No way to focus that I'm aware of.
I've put my R 15, 21, and 24 on the M and used guess focusing
(just for fun and because I could).
The lenses are ridiculously large on an M
(with the possible exception of the 24).

The use of the 100 and 60 macro
on the Visoflex
is another matter;
perfectly functional for macro use.
