But I would caution against buying it just to use the Leica glass. First, the good adapters are not cheap; second, the lenses are not that easy to focus quickly. In the end, I think most people who start with that intention end up using just the dedicated lenses. I am not saying it can't be done, it just is not as pleasant as I had hoped.
