Different design, Novoflex have changed theirs a few times - started basic, 
then brought up right framelines and was coded now I think they are bringing 
a tripod footed one out. Only lenses I am worried about weight-wise have 
their own feet so not an issue.

I read a report/rumor that the Leica R lens to M adapter was in fact the 
Novoflex adapter which has been licensed by Leica, is this correct, or is 
there a separate Leica one?
