New adapter for the NEX cameras for the M mount lenses

Came across something interesting on the Leica forum and thought I'd share here :

Unfortunately I don't have any Leica M wide angle or for that matter any Leica M lenses to check at this point. I have just ordered the 40mm lens on Thursday as my first M mount lens.

Also, for anyone interested and considering one of the E mount Sony cameras, this was mentioned over at Fred Miranda.com about a new adapter for the NEX cameras for the M mount lenses that will allow for information transfer between particularly the 6 digit coded M lenses and NEX cameras:

By the way, the new adapter had not been certified at this point for Europe, so I believe that it can only be sold at this point in North America and I am not sure where else.

This is a good idea to make such adapter. Sadly, the developer say it is difficult to make one with helicoid which is very useful too.
