Used this adapter to fit an 80’s leitz 50mm lens to my wife’s ‘64 Leica M2. Fit perfectly, but still waiting on a test roll to be developed. Don’t anticipate any issues as it appears to be well made and fit snugly. I tried a $30 made in China adapter and it wouldn’t lock to the body. This one is made in Germany, so I thought I’d try it before plunking down the extra cash for the one made by Leica($395).
**Update - got some film back and the adapter worked perfectly, no distortion or light leaks

Worth the high asking price
I’m sure many of you looking at this adapter are fully aware of the cheaper alternatives around $20-$30. But let me confirm for you that this adapter is worth the asking price. I have the cheaper adapters and while they do the job, their construction is questionable for the long haul. Granted, you can always buy another if it fails, but if you are a working professional, such a failure is not worth anticipation.The novoflex is no doubt expensive. But, consider the price of the lenses you are attaching and it’s a non-issue if you are making money with your photos. A failure is not an option when on the job.The novoflex is precisely made, as you’d expect of a product made in Germany. The lens absolutely mounts as though it is connecting to an R series Leica body. I’m contrast, the cheaper adapters are hit and miss - some are too tight, some a bit loose. You’re mileage will vary.I’ve also read if users who have had the cheaper adapters fail and break with the mount still attached to the lens. A pain to remove in some cases.Rest assured, the novoflex is simply a perfectly manufactured adapter for your R lenses. You should not hesitate and buy it over the cheaper alternatives.
