I would like to use a Zeiss Biogon 35 on my FE2 and wonder if there is an adpter at a reasonable price? Also, will using an adapter have a negative effec on the image or worklfow?

Thanks
 
The Leica M lens is designed to be much closer to the film than any Nikon SLR will allow it to be mounted. A Leica lens mounted on a Nikon SLR would only be able to focus on objects very close to the camera.

For a laugh, I just tried holding my Zeiss ZM 50 in front of my FM2, as far back as I could (the mirror would probably hit it if I tried to take a photo). With the lens focused at infinity I could focus at about 25cm.
 
Fotodiox makes many adapters, but not that one. Probably could find a used Nikon 35mm lens for less than the price of an adapter anyway.
