I am very frustrated. I own a lot of wonderful R lenses and wonder why an 
adapter can't be developed to use them on the S Leica. I'm  probably stupid 
for asking this question, but I'm about ready to say goodbye to Leica. Any 
thoughts/suggestions?

Hi Jim,
If you haven't already done so, please check out:

I fitted all my R lenses with leitax nikon bayonets and used them on first a 
D700 and now a D800E.
Focus confirmation is reasonably accurate but not absolutely precise - up to 
f8.0 on the D800E and the exceptional quality of Leica R lenses shines 
through.
There is no auto aperture, of course.
