Hi:
=20
This web page has all you need:
=20
http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/mounts.htm
=20
It shows the register of lens flange to film of the M to be 27.95mm =
while the K mount is 45.46mm . What this means is that if you ever did =
make an adapter, it would be like mounting the M lens with a 17mm or so =
extension tube. If you wanted to use your 75mm summilux, it would =
probably be extended so far from the film that it would only focus on =
macro subjects. You probably could make or get a mount adapter to fit a =
Pentax on the Leica M, as they have that 17.51mm to make an adapter =
ring. Leica already makes an R to M adapter. If I could find one, I have =
a Russian R mount Fisheye that would be fun to use on my M6.

Hmmm... I was afraid of that...I was hoping for a nice (great) =
portrait lens with aperture priority...with a camera that I already =
have. I suppose that the 75 would make a fine macro lens, but that's not =
really my bag...oh well...
