Subject: [Leica] 24mm alternative heresies

Given that many people are now using the 25/4 Skopar, and that others are
using 24mm Elmarits on .72 cameras without an accessory vf, I was wondering
if any of you have tried an SLR 24 on your M by way of one of Stephen
Gandy's adapters?  It seems to me that if one already had a good Nikkor or
Canon 24 this might be a viable approach.

Is anyone doing this?  If so, how has it worked out - is the lack of both
click-stops and RF coupling a problem?  How about viewfinder blockage and
framing problems?
