It's very heavy and when you attach it, you can bring up all of the Leica R lenses in the menu. Unless there is another Novoflex besides the one I have, this one is totally different. LEICA R-ADAPTER M The Leica M was developed for customers who want to put their excellent Leica R lenses to digital use. The new LEICA R Adapter for the first time gives users the option of deploying almost any Leica R lens ever built with their Leica M. The camera menu lists more than 20 different R lenses from wide-angle, telephoto and zoom through to macro lenses, including calibrated imaging workflow and EXIF lens detection. The wide selection of lenses opens up new application options to Leica M photographers, HD video recording in conjunction with the Leica R Vario lenses and using lenses with focal lengths longer than 135mm. $310, but, if I can use all of my R lenses on the M240, well worth it.
