Product Description

Allows a Nikon type lens to be mounted unto a Leica M type camera. Although the lens will fit physically, automatic diaphragm (AE metering), or any other functions are not retained using this adapter. In this case you will need to meter in "stop-down mode" since the lens does not have the ability to have its aperture controlled by the camera body.

This review is from: Lens Mount Adapter - Nikon Lens to Leica M Body (Electronics)

Novoflex built this slick little adapter so that you can take advantage of your vast collection of Nikkor lenses. It fits like a charm, and works well with Leica's in-camera metering systems. I used this on a Leica M6TTL as well as a Leica MP. There were no conflicts. I used a variety of lenses from the 13mm f/5.6 Nikkor AIS exotic ultra-wide to the 58mm f/1.2 Noct-Nikkor (head to head testing of the Noctilux by Leica with the Nikon high speed lens). No problems with mounting nor conflict issues. While I did mount my Fisheye-Nikkor 7.5mm f/5.6 lens on the M6 successfully, I did notice some image cutoff. Will test that again with the MP. I have no idea why that would happen. For the most part, this adapter is not a problem. Of course, the focusing cam is non-functional and focus should be via the manual method or using hyperfocal rules.
