M lens to R mount

Does anyone know if you can get an R to M adaptor?

 

So, to be clear, R mount to M lens.

 

I want to get the metabones speed booster which has an R mount, but I have M lenses!

 

Does anyone know if combining an adaptor and the speed booster will make the flange distance between lens and sensor too great for the M-series lenses?

 

Its for mounting on a Lumix GH3 digital camera if that makes any difference.

 

Many thanks all,

 

Jules

There are adapters which will mount an M lens on an R body, but the lens spacing is set for Visoflex on an M, so only Visoflex M lenses will focus to infinity on the R. Normal M lenses would only work in extreme close-up,

 

Kindly point us to the M lens to R camera adapters, please.

OK - Leitz 14167 adapter. Shown here next to a Chinese R-lens-to-M-mount for comparison. The two mate together to make either an R or M extension tube!

Then here is an M viso lens (200mm) mounted on an R4 using the 14167 adapter.

Obviously, due to the resulting flange to film distance being equal to a Visoflex III on an M body, mounting a non-viso M lens it would only focus extremely close - but it can be done.
