If you are going to stick a Leica M-mount lens on a Nikon F-mount camera, be aware that you won't be able to focus to infinity. In fact, you will probably be limited to focusing at a pretty short range. I can't remember off hand if some M-mount adapters have a diopter lens in them to allow for infinity focusing, but this would degrade image quality anyway.

Besides, there are lots of excellent Nikkor lenses to choose from. Why waste money on an adapter when you buy F-mount lenses pretty cheap.

Thats easy, because I wanted to to be able to use the canon 50mm f/.95 lense on my nikon so i was just wondering if it was possible. Yes I know there are a lot of great nikkor lenses out there, I've got a couple and love them.

If you have any Visoflex lenses they'll infinty focus on a Nikon SLR. Have been thinking of getting one of the CameraQuest adaptors so I can use my 280mm Telyt on a D200.

I think this won't work, you won't be able to focus to infinity (in fact, probably not further away than a few feet, I won't do the math now), and as a macro lens the 50/f.95 won't deliver convincing results I guess.
