I would appreciate such a list as well! Nothing fancy, just three columns with lens name, very subjective quality rating (simple * to *** system?) and "Remarks" (does it focus to infinity? does it require grinding the mount? How severe is vignetting?) etc.May be you can list all lenses that you have used with G1 and rating them according to your preferences. Don't have to be technical. This review should be useful for other G1 users who crave for classic manual focus lenses.
My guess is that it's taking so long because that was right about the time he discovered -- after several complaints, including one from me -- that his manufacturer was making the adapters too thick, causing lenses to be unable to focus to infinity. Once he found out about that, I would hope that he stopped shipping the defective ones.Still wait for a LM to G1 adaptor from Jinfinance. Don't know why it took so long as I paid him through my paypal on 11/2 and he promised to ship withing 2 business days.
Jinfinance just emailed me. He insisted that the adaptor was sent to me on 2/13 but still I haven't received it. This is a conflicting info. If he got a new batch just recently how can he shipped on to me some 17 days ago?My guess is that it's taking so long because that was right about the time he discovered -- after several complaints, including one from me -- that his manufacturer was making the adapters too thick, causing lenses to be unable to focus to infinity.

I had a message from him last week saying that he had gotten the problem corrected and had a new batch manufactured; told me he would start shipping them Tuesday (3/2.) It might be worth reminding him that he owes you one -- he seems pretty conscientious, but we have this saying in the USA that "the squeaky wheel gets the grease"...
I'd say you're entitled to an answer to that question from him. I've found him to be responsive so far, but obviously can't guarantee that he's equally responsive to every communication.Jinfinance just emailed me.

Wow, I'm glad that I didn't put the self-destruct adpotor on my g1. So, I will continue to wait and wait and counting the days (19 waiting days now) until I cannot take it no more and order an adaptor from new sources. Looking at pics taking from legacy lenses in this forum make me feel even worse.... maybe once he knew there were problems, he activated the self-destruct system
I'll second that. In my case it's an L39 adapter that can't reach infinity with a CV lens and he's offered a replacement at no extra cost with no requirement to send back the first unit. He is a good businessman and he'll definitely have me as a client for more of his products.Personally I think Rong Jin has a very friendly approach and serviceminded attitude on the issues.
He has immediately answered my emails and he has promised to send me a new adapter.
I'm sure he will quickly respond to any question if you email him.
