I have a cheap adaptor and it is not successful with longer lenses at 
distance (too much play), I have had the Leica part on order for ages and 
the Visoflex item is well regarded but not available locally so shipping 
would put the price up a lot.

I am still not convinced that the focus peaking is accurate enough for the 
longer lenses at +50m, both of mine focus beyond infinity so always need 
focussed. Also means a tri/monopod is required most of the time, not as 
straightforward to use as Leica tout it as....

Some of this seems to be tail wagging the dog to me ;-) The new camera is
quite a significant investment and the adapters are much less so. If you
already own an adapter that may work or can be modified to work then you
can give it a go first I guess. If I had $8000 or so of M and another
significant investment in some great R lenses, I'd think that the Leica
item that definitely would work would be the best small extra investment.
Rumours and guesses notwithstanding.
