You seriously have to undertake some lite reading on the difference between C and M mount camera registers instead of throwing out what-if lenses to the forum. It will become quickly apparent why the Canon f0.95 50mm C-mount lenses is not compatible.

AJ:

The Chinese have already machined your Leica M - PL mount adapter, i.e.

None of the Leicina Special M adapters offers coupling of anything. So the offered PL thing is not going to either.
The Special couples out only electronically to a Leicina lens controller which does aperture control.

Maybe some Arduino specialist can read the signals from the cameracontacts and activate a motor on your PL lens?
Or use the hardly ever used lighting control of the Leicina :)
Kind regards,
