Leica have a part number for the adapter, but I do not believe that
is available, just yet. Coming soon, to a dealer near you!
There are, however, a number of Hong Kong and Chinese made adapters
available for Leica-R to 4/3rds mount. A quick search of Google or
*bay might put you on to one. Perhaps our Hong Kong "secret agent",
Howard Cummer can shed some light on this for you.

Underneath the skin, the cameras are the same. But Leica do offer
their own firmware.

Sorry. My answers are: I don't know, I don't know, and I don't know!
Anybody else have better information?
