Given that we have a number of LTM/M->MFT adapter choices coming available I thought it would be useful to gather user experiences with them in one place so we can determine/argue about which is the bestion option out there. I'll start with my Novoflex:
Build quality: All metal, black gloss paint with white Novoflex lettering and red mount dots
Operation: Locking pin simultaneously locks with the M mount lens or LTM adapter and the G1 body. Have to remove adapter from body unless you modify the pin as per instructions on this forum. Mount M lens or LTM adapter to adapter before mounting on the G1.
Usability: M-mount side is very tight, difficult to remove lenses without putting undue pressure on the barrels. Locking pin fiddly to operate. Mounts cleanly and easily to the G1. Risk of mis-mounting the lens and adapter due to unclear instructions and ambiguous mounting dots on the adapter. Very difficult to remove LTM adapters once mounted.
Cost: £125 in the UK from SpeedGraphic, other stockists available.
Rating: 7/10 - needs better instructions and less force required to mount lenses. May free up with use.
