This was new to me, is anyone aware of it?
Leica-R lenses on Nikon-F bodies

Rather than being an adapter, its a replacement mount for each lens.

Apparently Leica R to Nikon F conversion was also occasionally done with Nikon film cameras:

Although that was the other way round, the camera mount was changed rather than the lens mounts.

Actually I clikced "bin" button weeks ago, but the seller said
there were some parts shortage, I have to wait a bit longer.

I will report this replacement mount, luckily you can completely
reverse the process. I do not have to destroy the Leica lens. Very Happy
