Only a comment on another forum from someone who has handled a prototype.  It 
remains to be seen what the production cameras are like.

Without live view or a real focussing viewfinder of some sort, focussing an R 
lens on an M camera is hit/miss.  Also- M cameras up to this point have no 
communication from camera to lens, i.e., the camera can't tell the lens to stop 
down, so the lens is at working aperture.  Can make ground-glass or live-view 
focussing slower and less accurate.

Existing R-to-M adapters will allow infinity focus.
