yes it is possible but not wise. You need a LTM to Leica M mount adapter, then the ultra rare leica M to Nikon F mount adapter and then a Nifon F to EF mount adapter and in the end you will have a macro lens that will probably hit the mirror of the camera.

J12 with its huge rear element would not make friends with the mirror. Am I missing something here?

I agree about it not being wise, but there is an easier way to do this:
LTM to M42 adapter ring and then an M42 to EOS adapter. I use my J-8 and 9cm Elmar as macro lenses this way.
I guess if there was/is an EOS body with mirror lock up, it might even be usable.
One other thing, I think putting a leica standard lens on an EOS body is equivalent to using a 20mm--or so--extension tube. Which means if you are using a lens shorter than that, the focus point ends up behind the front element. I did this with my Kiev 60 and Arsat 30mm lens plus the 40mm extension tube I had; ended up with a finger print on the front element when I tried it.😱
