[Leica] T-adapter for Leica M?

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

The visoflex T-adapter would have the wrong register. You can, 
however, get a Nikon or Leica R T-adapter and then Nikon or Leica R 
to M. I have never seen a T-adapter for Leica M directly.

The M8 has decent IR sensitivity, but it still has a weak IR filter. 
A modified Canon or other camera with the IR filter removed has about 
3 stops more sensitivity to light of about 720nm.
