Make that $US 325 - now on "closeout" special for $US 250.

If in doubt, see the Leica FAQ I maintain:

<http://nemeng.com/leica/017e.shtml>

The Cameraquest "focus coupled" lens mount adapter requires a two-step 
process.  Focus using the rangefinder & adapter focus ring, then 
transfer the distance setting by hand to the R lens.

Important caveat, it always brings up the 50mm framelines in the camera 
viewfinder.
