What is BS? That I pointed out something is calibrated and others are not? :wtf:

Joel, Type your query in eBay and find out for yourself how many adapters are out there!I guess that my Contax (RTS III) lenses will never be usable on this camera, correct? The G and G2 lenses are adaptable, but not the Contax/Yashica???
TIA,
Joel
Tim,So here's a question: do any of the Nikon lens to E mount adaptors offer autofocus functions? The websites of some of these people are truly opaque!
Thanks. The Phigmenttech is my favorite M to E adapter when shooting handheld.I'll be using the Phigmenttech and Hawk's with M mount. But still going to wait a bit before diving into another new camera.
+1 and also manual focusing with the adapter engages peaking in the NEX (and presumably the A7r as well) with the option for magnification also.Anna:
The "manual" focus is via a motor driven screw built into the adapter. There is a little lever on the adapter that you push clockwise or counter-clockwise to focus in or out. Actually works quite well but different from a manual focus experience. There is no direct linkage to aperture so you have to set aperture manually on the lens and change the setting in your camera to keep the exposure straight. It's definitely not a smooth system but you do get to use your Contax G lenses. I'm reasonably happy with it.
Regards,
John
All good news ! Thanks Carl and John for the feedback.+1 and also manual focusing with the adapter engages peaking in the NEX (and presumably the A7r as well) with the option for magnification also.
Here's my experience with a range of adapters for X to FourThirds SLR, X to Micro-FourThirds, and X to M-bayonet:
Fotodiox decent quality but lots of thickness variance.
Metabones wouldn't mount six of ten of my Leica M lenses.
Cirrus works well but sloppy fit.
Rayqual works as advertised.
Voigtländer works as advertised.
Novoflex works better than advertised.

I have to say that my best so far have also been Novoflex...
I guess we "Internationals" have to order via Karl-Heinz ... :facesmack:Regarding International Sales

Hi Everybody,
Many questions regarding international sales and shipping have come in over the past few days. At the time, I indicated that I will look in to making this available. After doing some investigation the decision was made that it is not something we can reasonably support for the following reasons:
Sales Restrictions: I do not have the resources to generate the appropriate documentation required for various international standards bodies. Even if I did, the process would take a minimum of 4 weeks and possibly cost more than it's worth.
Service Standards: The passion for photography and technology development is what inspired and drove this product. If there is one thing I've learned through experience, it's that promising too much or extending too far beyond one's capabilities is a sure way to have the end product suffer. Ultimately, it makes the most sense to support what you know in order to give the best customer service.
I apologize for any false hope, but until this company grows and acquires the required resources, it will only be able to support the North American markets.
Sincerely,
Paul Habsch

K-H,Novoflex adapters are the best purely mechanical ones that I have encountered.
The Phigmenttech M to E adapter makes an electrical connection.
It can enter the focal length into the Exif and can be set to engage magnification as soon as the lens is being focused.
