I was once a big fan of the Tamron adaptal 2 lenses, if you changed camera brands there was no need to buy new lenses, just switch the mounts.

Its nice to see that SLR magic have now adopted something similar

I can't think of anything I've noticed that I'm sure of (I did think it may have increased focus speed but that could well have been my mind playing tricks )

How they can do that is a really good question Pete. I got some extension tubes on ebay that cost me about the same.

I bought a Pentax to 4/3 adapter at Fotodiox and it cost me about £24! The manual focusing was interesting, as the focusing prism doesn't work with the digital camera, and the lenses I have are pretty heavy on the EM-5.

I was shooting butterflies flitting in the air the day I tried the lenses, and realize how hard it is to manually focus under those conditions

And happy to accept lower profit margins than 'the names' do.

I have a Leica M39 to M4/3 adapter that I paid something like $20.00 for when I had an Oly Pen. Never ever got a lens for it. It's solid metal, with a brand name of Fotca on it.

Some sellers on ebay are just trying to establish a reputation, or re-establish one that's been tarnished, so they sell stuff below their cost.

I bought an item from Dublin one time, and the cost to me was one Euro, for the shipping.
