I called B&H during the week. The guy didn't know about the adapter but he is very interested in the G1 so was going to look into it. Who are some of the other Novoflex dealers in the US?Last I heard, the Novoflex would be delivered to their US distributor (HP Marketing) the first week of January. I was told by HP they will drop ship for their dealers, so they should be available right after that.
your post beat me to it, thanks though.My recommendation is to call HP Marketing on Monday and get a list of dealers. I'm betting there is a small specialty dealer (perhaps Photovillage) that could order and have HP drop ship, arriving earlier than a direct shipment from Germany. Plus you'll be able to order in USD instead of euros. HP told me they drop ship most orders.
That being said, here is the direct order info:

Leaving the adaptor attached to body? yes.. that would be what I would like to do as well, leaving adpator attached to camera.Not having personally seen the Rayqual, I can't comment on the build quality except it looks fine in photos. The Novoflex looks like a quality piece to me, looks good, feels solid, fits into the G1 bayonet perfectly, and lenses fit just like they do on a camera body.
The 'throat' in the Rayqual appears to be smaller than the Novoflex, and the lens release button is recessed on the Novoflex. I'm not sure about the Rayqual, but the Novoflex has a pin that prevents the adapter from being removed from the G1 with the lens attached. I'm thinking of filing down the pin.
I sent the email Monzo provided, but no reply so far. It has been a week and perhaps they are shut for the holidays.maybe I will go direct from Novoflex.
Could you please post that link for the rest of us.oops, I just found the thread with info who to email to for orders.
Look at post #7Could you please post that link for the rest of us.
Thanks

So the adapters that CameraQuest will have are the Rayqual ones? I see nothing on the web sit that identifies his supplier.Is anybody besides me surprised that the Rayqual adapters haven't turned up on eBay yet? I've seen pictures shot of and with them, so evidently they're available in Asia, but CameraQuest says they won't have them until late January at the soonest. You'd think somebody might step into this gap to profit from would-be early adopters.
