Anybody know...is the Amedeo adapter the only one to allow for mount on an M body?
The Amedeo adapter is the best of the modern adapters. There are others, made from Kiev bodies.
Your best bet would be to find a Nikkor in Leica Thread Mount and use an LTM to M adapter. Price of the lens would not be much more than the adapter.

Watch that step!
Here's a "close up" shot done with a Nikkor S.C. f1.4/50 #5005 "Tokyo" (rare early rigid version of the S.C. in LTM) used here on my M8 ~ open all the way and backed off slightly (f1.5) ~ my subject is the "Major's" camera a US Army Signal Corps Leica IIIC K Grey paint camera issued late May 1945 with an original "wartime" issued 1943 Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar T f1.5/50 mm lens........
Enjoy!

HUH? Both of my LTM Nikkors, 5.0cm & 8.5cm, have Leitz LTM-M adapters. They attach to my M5 just like my M mount lenses. Piece of cake. They also attach to my Canon VI-T like they were made for the camera. Which they were.
I have other LTM lenses as well. They all get used on both LTM and M mount cameras with the correct Leitz adapter. I have all 3 now: 35-135, 50 and 28-90.

I have been offered a sample with slightly loose mount (definitely a case for a CLA as of oily blades and dusty too).
For how much do these Nikkors go these days?
Edit: bought it and turns out, the play in the mount was caused by a slightly loose retaining ring around the rear element - fixed within seconds and now on my camera for a test ride over the next days ;-)
I am happy!

Tom, it looks like you were using the close-focus range of the Nikkor (i.e., distance to subject < 1m). How did you go about setting focus? It seems to me that peak focus is on the major's oak leaf insignia -- was that intentional?

Yes, thats the OOF-Rendering I wanna see from a Sonnar-type lens.
I think, I need one too...

Doesn't anyone need one ;-) ?
Now, that I tried one, I fully understand the saying around RFF, that one never should sell a Nikkor-S.C 5cm 1.4 … never!

Thanks Jon for sharing this - I just love the look of this lens.
… wish, this thread would be more alive, the Nikkor-S deserves it!
Mine is still on the bench, waiting for adjustment and aperture clean, as I am slow with these things, as of tooooo many other stuff to do ;-)
One question for the mechanics around with a Nikkor-S in LTM mount:
The focussing mount gears into the optical unit with a single small screw, fitting into a groove, which leads to an ever so slightly play, when fine focussing the lens, as the screw doesn't fit tight enough to the slightly wider groove.
Could anybody on their lens eliminate this issue? Are there new screws around, which provide a better (tighter) fit?
