I've had the Monza adapter for several days now and my experience has been mixed. It's well made and my 45mm attaches easily. Focusing is mostly smooth but with a few rough spots. As I was fiddling with it I made an interesting observation. When I hold the camera upside-down the focusing is consistently smooth. It seems like the drive for the lenses need just the right pressure to turn smoothly. I noticed that the drive on the Contax G2 is spring loaded (probably to help assure the correct pressure).
I found it very difficult to mount my 90mm and finally by aligning the lens drive slot with a screwdriver I was able to mount it. Focusing is more uneven than with the 45 however I was able to get tack-sharp photos with it. I doubt I'll use the 90 much since a 180mm equivalent is a bit difficult to keep very steady on such a small light camera (GF-1).
