Novoflex macro LEM:VIS II adapter set for Leica M 240 Novoflex macro LEM:VIS II adapter set for Leica M type 240
Novoflex released a new macro LEM/VIS II adapter set for the Leica M type 240 camera. CameraWest published a quick review on their website:

“This nifty set for Leica M mount functions in two ways and will expand the possibilities of your M system. First, when used in combination with a Visoflex II or III, it allows infinity focus with Visoflex specific lenses.

The price of the set is around $400 at PopFlash. Here is also a hands-on video from Tamarkin Camera:
