Just thought I'd share this info - I have a G1 and Cameraquest adapter for Leica M lenses. I love it, and use it regularly with a CV 28/2.0, CV 25/4, CV 35/2.5, and Summarit 50.
Today, I picked up an absolutely lovely Summicron 50/2 DR (dual range). It interferes with the adapter, and won't focus beyond about 6 feet. Steve Gandy of Cameraquest confirmed that there's a compatibility issue with the DR version, while all other Summicrons work fine. BTW - Steve answered my question immediately, and was helpful as always.
This is a bummer for me. But, I can either limit myself to using the DR on my film body, or hopefully trade it for a rigid version.
Anyway, thought I'd like to save anyone else the same disappointment.
