Sigma dp0 Merrill!

Hello! First at all, sorry for my english, It's not my first language.
I searched a bit online and didn't seen somebody else talking about that, so I do it here. Some of you probably know that it's possible to use a Ricoh GW wide angle adapter on the sigma dp1 merrill, but do you know that it's also possible to use the Sony SEL075UWC? For that, you just have to sand down the ring at the front of the camera's lens, something like half of a millimeter (it will still be possible to screw filters on it). Then the bayonet of the sony converter will fit to the lens one!
I tried both, Ricoh gw-3 and Sony SEL075UWC, the sony is better, but still far from the quality of the real dp0 lens, so that's nice for somebody like me who don't need a 21mm too often.

Interesting, I really like your third shot. I've seen this wide angle adapter modified in the same way to work with the RX1, but had no idea it would also work with the DP1m. I've seen full sized samples of the Ricoh GW-3 on the DP1m, but corner performance seemed poor enough that the adapter wasn't worth the effort. Do you have any full-sized samples you could share with the Sony adapter?
