spydrxx Posted October 30, 2016 Share #2  Posted October 30, 2016 Welcome to the forum. There's a lot of research you can do, but I'll try to make it a little easier for you.Your Leica R lenses can readily be adapted to be used on the Nikon via the Leitax conversions I can't speak to the other lenses thoughs. If you contact Doug Herr at Wildlightphoto, he may grant you access to his database of Leica R lenses which will give you lots of info on your lenses after you determine which version you have, as well as some shots taken with the lenses. Unless you have a camera body which the lenses attach to, there is no way to really test them. These days many people are using relatively inexpensive micro 4/3 digital bodies which take a variety of adapters to use many manufacturers' older lenses - I've used mine to routinely evaluate over 70 lenses from different manufacturers.
