These are new, very well made adapters to use Nikon F mount lenses (manual or AF) on Leica M mount cameras.     There is no rangefinder coupling,  but TTL metering is maintained.  

Why use it?  To increase your system's versatility, reduce investment.  Wide angles are very usable without the rangefinder coupling due to their great depth of field.   Just use scale focusing on the focusing mount, and you will seldom find yourself out of focus.   If you have a 18, 20, 24, or 28 in your Nikon bag that you are happy with, do you really need to spend the extra bucks to get one in Leica mount?    In use the adapter snaps on with precision, though I do wish the spring on the Nikon release was a bit stronger.

Shown is the  35-200 Nikkor zoom on the M6.   A tele zoom on your M6 is more usable than you  might think,  providing you limit your shooting to infinity and your apertures to f/8 and smaller.    Leica never made a 200 to attach directly to its RF bodies,  but you can with this adapter.
