Can I adapt the leica super elmar m 18mm f 3 8 asph to sony e?

The site doesn't list this lens for any Sony E camera. Its Leica Super-Elmar-M 18mm f/3.8 ASPH page only covers Leica M bodies, so I can't confirm a Sony E fit from here.

The general idea does work. Mirrorless mounts are shallow, so old manual-focus lenses adapt easily and cheaply, and this lens is manual focus only. That makes it a good candidate for the approach I describe on the Lenses page. I'd still check a specific adapter's specs and the lens's coverage before buying anything, since I haven't tested that combination for you.
