Availability of M adaptor L?

Strange, I got mine from B&H just a few weeks ago. My SL was a Christmas present and I then ordered the adapter along with some larger memory cards. At the time I order it from B&H, Adorama had then available as well. There must have been an after Christmas rush on these. Leica Miami has not had them for some time. I tried them first.

It was renamed from "M Adapter T" to "M Adapter L" but the same part number was retained: 18771.  I managed to get one from Popflash about a month ago.  But now it's out of stock there, too.  B&H doesn't have an estimate on availability.  I wonder if there's a supplier issue or if it's being replaced with something new.

I got mine from Leica Store Miami in November.

 

The lack of availability of this adapter is quite honestly ridiculous.

 

I sincerely wish Leica would fix their supply chain, or overcome their tendency to not flood the market, whichever is applicable...

Is there any real advantage in the Leica adapter over the Novoflex, aside from using 6-but lenses where lens profile will be automatically applied?  

 

Am I right in thinking that, even using Leica adapters, no exif data or correction  is automatically applied by stacking R and M adapters

No. In the case of the Nocti 0.95 all Exif data are available if the original Leica M adaptor is still used. The Novoflex adaptor doesn`t support any lens data.

true, there is no automatically correction nor exif data with stacked R and M adapter. When you are stacking the adapters, you have manually select the R lens in the camera menue. The automatic functions are only available with the single R - SL adapter
