Leica, Novoflex, Fotodiox and some other brands also have these adapters without electrical contacts..........What most of us need are those similar to Novoflex's EOS-SL or Nikon-SL with autofocus at half or cheaper than the Novoflex ones.

Interesting, the LM-LSL Adapter looks identical to the Voigtlaender VM-E close focus adapter (for Sony).
These adapter have a build in helicoid (see the black ribbed ring) which reduceses the close focussing distance a lot.
In general, rangefinders are restricted to 0,7m and so the lenses are build (mostly), so these are a great help!
