Putting most R glass on an M would not be a pretty sight. Most would balance
abysmally. Putting an R lens on a Nikon DSLR is totally doable the images
come out quite well people are doing it every day. But a simple back viewing
camera with a flexible mount to fit R and M and LTM can not be too far in
the future.  I bet in few years we'll have auto focus functionality on such
a camera for all the existing and pre existing Leica mounts.
