No, I have the Novoflex adapter, too.  This one is nothing like it.  It's
very heavy and when you attach it, you can bring up all of the Leica R
lenses in the menu.  Unless there is another Novoflex besides the one I
have, this one is totally different.

LEICA R-ADAPTER M
The Leica M was developed for customers who want to put their excellent
Leica R lenses to digital use. The new LEICA R Adapter for the first time
gives users the option of deploying almost any Leica R lens ever built with
their Leica M. The camera menu lists more than 20 different R lenses from
wide-angle, telephoto and zoom through to macro lenses, including
calibrated imaging workflow and EXIF lens detection. The wide selection of
lenses opens up new application options to Leica M photographers, HD video
recording in conjunction with the Leica R Vario lenses and using lenses
with focal lengths longer than 135mm.

$310, but, if I can use all of my R lenses on the M240, well worth it.
