The flange<>film distance doesn't allow any M or LTM lens to 
focus to infinity on any APS or 35 m  SLR or DSLR if I'm not 
mistaken. Not even on a Pen F .  Leica Visoflex lens 
adapters exist for some other camera mounts though. And it 
is likely that you will be able to mount Leica S2 lenses on 
an FF DSLR in the future. If you can afford it.

An adapter for Micro 4/3 mount (Panasonic G1) will probably 
  be the matchmaker for a lot of lens widows like Pen F, 
Canon FD and more obscure short register mount lenses that 
didn't allow normal 4/3 adapters.  Cameraquest will get new 
business.
