You do realize that at other than F-wide open, the thing is a royal PITA to
shoot?

What you must do to shoot a Leica lens on  a Nikon or Canon ( or anything
else) body........

Open lens up to F-Wide Open
Focus
Close lens down to F-Shooting aperture
Recompose, because you took the camera away from your eye to do the aperture
setting.....
Did anything or anyone move?
Shoot
Repeat

Or....

Set aperture
Focus in dim VF ( depends on light outside, and aperture set..... )
Shoot
Repeat


Yes, others will tell you it is no problem.... but only you can tell for
yourself if this situation is acceptable to you.......

Your option is a R-whatever body plus film plus scanner.......
