This is for those, who would love to use some of their R lenses on a new S
(006) or S2 body. I have just bought an adapter ring from Michael Leibfritz
in Germany
www.lei-ko.de
It cost 500 euros including overnight european courier delivery. It is
beautifully made. You can only use it for lenses of 180 or longer. The new
S lenses top out at 180 focal length. The rumoured 350 S lens may well not
happen. Focus is manual of course with stop down metering. The max focus
distance is limited, unless you send the lenses to Leica for adjustment.

280/4 APO - max focus distance at infinity point on lens barrel is about
20m, but my copy goes beyond infinity to the ?feet / m? mark on the barrel
(which is 40m + in real life).

There was some variation in 280mm f/4 APO production. My original copy
(originally 3rd-cam, now getting its biennial diaphragm de-gumming) is like
Charlie's lens. My newer copy (ROM) focuses only slightly past infinity and
even has a different focussing pitch. Sounds like the older version is a
better fit for the S2 + lei-ko adapter.
