[CameraQuest]

I just posted this at CQ:

Update: demand for the Leica M to M 4/3 adapter was more than expected. The first shipment is sold out and will start shipping about Feb 10th. IF you are on the waiting list and have NOT been notified that your adapter will ship about Feb 10th, you remain on the wait list for the 2nd shipment expected about March 1st. March 1st adapters will be shipped in the order they were paid for. PICS of new adapter up by Jan 28th. email to get on wait list! $175

Canon FD/FL adapters from the first shipment are still available to ship about Feb 10th, also $175

I'm very happy with the way the adapters turned out. Pics of the Leica M adapter will be up by Wed night.

Adapters $175 each
+ 8.25% California tax ONLY if you are in California

allow you to use Leica M lenses on a Panasonic G1 u4/3 digital camera with a 2x crop factor. Think: Poor man's M8 with a tighter crop. There are also adapters for many other lens mounts (including LTM).

You KNEW these were gonna be a hit, but if they're exceeding your expectations, then sales must be really good

I''m still trying to figure out how I can be on the waiting list, but not be counted toward the demand.

The first shipment of Leica M to Micro 4/3 adapters arrived and shipped out over the last 3 days.

Canon FD to Micro 4/3 adapters are in stock and ready to ship.

The 2nd shipment of Leica M to M 4/3 adapters is estimated to start shipping about Feb 27th or before. I am not sure how many adapters out of the 2nd shipments are still available. Adapters will ship on the basis of first paid for.

I'm in the process of doing an article and pics on the Panasonic G1. In many ways the G1 makes a better digital companion to a film M camera than the Leica M8 as the G1 does many things the M8 does not -- FOR A MUCH LOWER PRICE!

Thanks,
