Default Leica To Nikon Lens Adapter

Any one knows if these adapters are available and where can they be purchased?

Thank you.

I've seen some on eBay, and I'm sure there are other places that they can be found.

I'm pretty sure you lose infinity focus with Leica M to Nikon F adapters, but the lenses will focus fine otherwise.

Go to cameraquest.com. Steve, the owner is very helpful. I have the adapter and it works just fine. The only problem is focusing because the Nikon lenses cover the focusing screen. i use infinity or guess at the distance. I have used my 70-200 and got a nice sharp image. it is not very expensive and lots of fun. I also got a 12mm Voightlander lens for the Leica from Steve and i love it.

I have a LTM to F adapter. I use it mostly for using El Nikkors on my D300 or PB-4. I found mine in a camera store and the owner of the store told me I could have it for free.
I have yet to try it with a Leica R lens but I would love to try it some time.
