Leica lenses are renowned for their quality in the photographic industry, but the M- and R-mounts are compatible with only a handful of cameras. Today, Panasonic announced two adapters, the DMW-MA2M and DMW-MA3R, which allow users to fit Leica lenses onto Micro Four Thirds cameras. The former is for M-mount lenses, while the DMW-MA3R is for R-mount optics. However, there are compatibility issues with some models of glasses which you can check out here.

Panasonic was not able to confirm the pricing and availability of these two adapters at press time, but we are guessing they will go on sale together with the Lumix DMC-GH1 this Micro Four Thirds shooter hits stores some time next month.
