These are some test pictures with my G3 + (Canon)MeiKe ring light in total darkness - ring flash would not be usable. Natural colors with 32 daylight LEDs (5500K), not blueish, unnatural colors like with old (12-LED) lights.
I used +10 macro lens, a cheap, bad lens, macro lens (Tamron 60/2) is of course 100x better.

6 or 7 adapter rings (49 - 77) ... screw in and then clip ringlight on .. price was $35 with shipping (9 days) from Hongkong to Austria.
As flash light you must select the right socket (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Lumix, ..) - as ringlight it works with every camera

Thanks again for the suggestions - in fact I already have an almost identical adapter from Fotodiox. It seemed to me that something with similar functionality to the Canon adapters (with Aperture adjustment) might be a better solution.
I'm left to guess on how it all works in practice, since I'm one of those waiting on delivery of their G3 from big P - when that day comes I'll be able to get away from mere speculation.
Meantime, maybe you can briefly comment on the use of the AF/m43 adapter and whether it requires a different technique to the more fully featured Canon adapter.
Have to complement you on the variety of life and colour in your garden - must require a lot of attention, I'm impressed that you have time for all of that on top of all your impressive photographic endeavours.
Cheers,

Both are "working identically". With Canon ("wired" aperture) you need an extra aperture ---> more expensive
With Minolta/Sony you only need a lever for lens aperture ---> a lot cheaper. And no vignetting, because it's the same in-lens.
photos with G3 + Sigma/Minolta 28-80 ... @80mm macro
