See previous discussion of the Leica R to Leica M lens adapter.

I’ll have extensive coverage of four Leica R APO telephoto lenses over the next few weeks. I’ve been meaning to flesh out my coverage of these lenses which I’ve owned for some years, but only now has it really made sense: the Leica M Typ 240 with the Leica R-adapter M.

The world is changing: whatever is good on the M240 is likely to even better on the new 36-megapixel Sony A7R, so this new coverage in Guide to Leica actually will be more relevant than ever. [As always, lens coverage goes into the appropriate Guide, regardless of camera bodies used, which change constantly].
