Robert:  I have the 14127F and it fits on my R6 body and
will use any of my 5 M lens for macro work.    I don't have
a clue what the added "F" means but it works for M to R
shots.

Bonsoir,

  I would have loved to be able to put my M lenses on my R4.
I even tried
the following;  a) remove the front part of a 14127 ring (
the M portion),
b) remove the bayonet mount from R4,  c) screw on the R4
said front portion
of the ring,  d)  mount lens on camera.   Still the combo
remains on the
macro mode.  The space needed to clear the path for the
mirror is just too
big.   Interesting experiment but so far I have not found a
way to mount and
use properly an M lens on an R4.

  Best,

  Robert (Un chevalier sans blason)
