Pentax made a limited run of the 43mm Ltd in Leica screw mount. I know of two Leica owners who have them ... I'd like to be #3. For the most part, C/V has been using LTM lenses, although recently they've started using the M mount.
LTM, not the M mount, would be the way to go. It would open up a wider range of bodies with which the lenses could be used, and all that would be needed is a typical and relatively inexpensive adapter, which Pentax could also sell instead of relying on the aftermarket. However, lots of those adapters already exist, and may RF owners already have one or more of them. Shel > [Original Message] > From: frank theriault > What lensmount would they use?
