Noel,
You should mount a Canon AF lens on the body to confirm mirror box
issues. Also, with the lens adapter, try using a Leica lens of longer
focal length (even a 35 or 50 will do fine). Many of the wide angle R
lenses protrude far back and will interfere with the mirror action when
shooting.
Cheers,
John
