Very nice shots with the 35 Planar Robert. This lens has also become a favorite of mine on the G1 and E-P2. Look forward to your adapter when it is ready.A few shots I took today using the 35/2 Planar. This is my new favorite adapted lens.
Texas wildflowers are out for Easter.
These were all shot with a GF1, the first time I've had the chance to use one. The viewfinder unfortunately is too tiny for me, I much prefer the G1/GH1 EVF.
I trimmed the guards of my 28mm copy and compared it to a Distagon 28mm. The corner performance of the Contax G 28mm on mFT is pitiful. Below is the corner crop. Full images are at http://tinyurl.com/yzvpf44.Hey monza, your pics with your adapter really make the 35mm shine. Just curious if you had a chance to shoot a few with the 28mm or 21mm? Though I know we'll see slight smearing in the corners I was just curious ...Thanks!
Yes, the RF biogons in particular seem to perform very poorly on the m43 platform. I had a similar experience with M mount Zeiss biogons (25 and 35) on my G1.
How serviceable has the Fotodiox been to focus? Is it truly difficult to mount and unmount the adapter?
This was the first adapter I tried and I found the Fotodiox very difficult to mount, unmount, and to focus with that tiny un-geared wheel.
I'm currently using a Kipon adapter, but like everyone else I'm also waiting for Robert's adapter to become available. The Kipon is easier to focus compared to the Fotodiox, but still not that smooth.
thanks scho, and CPWarner, a double thank you again for that dissection of the lens workshop adapter. Those metal filings were truly disturbing to see.
It is difficult for me to mount and unmount. About three times out of four I can not get the wheel to turn and focus the lens at all. It takes a couple of times focusing from infinity to close and then it works ok. So, I am not taking it off again until I have a better adapter.
It takes a few tries to train your brain how to focus with your left thumb and index finger but I had no problem handling the substantial focus wheel. 
Thanks Chad, I just got off the phone with the factory, they are going to make a minor change to tighten up tolerances around the thumbwheel, and we'll be good to go, should start getting the first units end of next week, or the beginning of the week after.
