However, an adapter has been made and is available that will allow longer R lenses to be used on the S bodies while sacrificing infinity focus - and some can be adjusted by Leica to recover infinity focus. The focussing units of the modular APO-Telyt-R system can also be modified to fit the S bodies. It seems the larger image circle requirements of the S isn't a problem for most R lenses.
