+1I have the Voigtlander Nikon to m4/3 adapter and it works perfectly, no issues with any of my lenses yet and the build quality is excellent...
I have the "jinfinance" aka "Rong Jin" Nikon lens combo and it works fine. The added advantage is that for little more you can fit another adapter to fit a let's say Pentax lens this time and the Four-Thirds to Micro Four-Thirds part you already have.I use Nikon mount lenses on the G1 with a two-adapter setup: ../.. Seller 'jinfinance' on Ebay offers them at $80.
Expensive adapters, that's true....but it's still cheap compared to how much I've spent on the Leica R glass in the last 6 months....and now I'll get more use out of them! Nice to use all that legacy Nikkor glass too. A couple of adapters will be money well spent I think.Getting the Panasonic R adapter and the Novoflex or Voigtlander Nikon adapter seems the best route, but you can quickly spend a lot on adapters.
Well, I've certainly spent a lot on adapters, having upwards of 75 right now. Over the last 40 years I've changed systems and bought and sold a lot of items, but I've never sold an adapter.Expensive adapters, that's true....but it's still cheap compared to how much I've spent on the Leica R glass in the last 6 months....and now I'll get more use out of them!

Strange. I got my Panasonic Leica R (and M) adapters at the beginning of August. They are definitely the best quality ones I've seen but others can get the job done.Received the Voigtlander micro 4/3rds adapter for my Nikon lenses a few days ago. I'm really happy with the quality of the Voigtlander product! My thanks to all who recommended the Voigtlander adapters.
I tried a few shots with my Nikkor 50mm f1.4 and 28mm f2.8 AIS lenses and as others have said....manual focusing with the G1/GH1/GF1 is superb! This camera is a joy to use with manual focus lenses.
I'm looking forward to the day when Panasonic releases their adapter for the Leica R series lenses.....seems like this has been delayed to December now.

I use exactly the same combo as Godfrey and can vouch for its functionality, as seen below with my (NLA and apparently quite rare) F-mount CV12mm lens.I use Nikon mount lenses on the G1 with a two-adapter setup:
Panasonic DMW-MA1 ... FourThirds to micro-FourThirds adapter (full function)
Fotodiox.com Nikon F to FourThirds mount adapter
Where did you purchase the Panasonic Leica R micro 4/3rds adapter from? B&W Photo says it won't be available until December now (they had November listed until last week) and Amazon still lists it as available for "pre-Order".Strange.

Through a friend in Hong Kong. He does have excellent connections, but I would think there would have been a few more available.Where did you purchase the Panasonic Leica R micro 4/3rds adapter from?

Perhaps a first batch sold out quickly.....which wouldn't surprise me!
I like that photo a lot, Leica77!G1 + Leica R Elmarit 19mm (Leitax Nikon F Mount) via Nikon m4/3 Adapter.
