Brian did a great job on this one. Smooth adjustments, rangefinder perfectly calibrated perfectly. Fits to the Leica M 240 with a Metabones L39 Screw Mount to Leica M adapter (6-Bit 50mm/75mm).
Haven't had a chance to check close focusing yet, but two from Fort Snelling state park yesterday before a pickup at the airport:

Focus peaking on the M indicates that for long-shots, images are sharpest from f2.5 out to f16 or so. Infinity focusing is nice and sharp.
A check of the rangefinder focusing compared to M's focus-peaking indicated focus: spot-on.
A sharpie used in the adapter's 6-bit wells did not work for the camera to recognize a lens, so I'll have to try something "blacker" than a Sharpie, and perhaps something "whiter" than just the unmarked encoding wells.
I'll add some close-focus pics when I get a chance to shoot some. But so far, superb for imaging with. Thanks, Brian!
