As Doug has posted, the lens flange to film distance is
different between Nikon and Leica. The Leica R is .5mm.
longer, to be precise. ( Hmmmnn, I wonder why someone
would have made THAT decision....)
As for an adapter, you could probably find a good Nikon
body for less $$s that it would cost to have the lens adapted.
