ITEM SOLD
impatiently tiring of the couple of months waiting for this interesting adapter to be delivered from China I ordered another from a Hong Kong dealer who held out hope of more prompt delivery intending to cancel the laggard after the first arrived - not super ethical perhaps but the initial delivery targets were grossly overoptimistic.
Well Murphy's Law delivered both adapters within a day or so last week. Comeuppance !
Now I do not really want two adapters however good they are.
So if anyone would like to jump the queue I have one on offer - it has been opened, tested and put back in its packing as it came.
It cost me $348 plus some shipping .... any offer close to that takes it .... otherwise I will just use both of them.
Seriously the one that I am keeping/using is astonishing ... it does actually work rather well. Not super lightning fast focus but very reasonable auto focus with virtually any glass with an M mount or an available M mount adapter ... great fun and a boon for old eyes.
