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!
