Xavier suggests that the Kindai Leica R - Leica M adaptor (from 
FleaBay ... I like that!)  "preserves rangefinder coupling".  What 
I'd like to know, is how?  After all, R lenses have no coupling cam 
for distance setting of any kind, and they do not move consistently, 
as a rangefinder lens must. Any R to M adapter I've ever seen (or 
even heard of)  uses scale focusing only.

IF they do it,  HOW do they do it?

Cheers!
