I have 2 adapters for M-lens: - Cameraquest - Jinfinance from ebay They are both works fine. The second one is a bit cheaper. The differences are fitting, and some detail. The Cameraquest adapter that I have, is very tight. When using it with M-LTM adapter, I can not remove the LTM adapter by hand. I needed to use a tools to remove it. The jinfinance has some play, but does not seem to effect the picture quality (not that I can see) The Cameraquest also has a light baffle which should cut down the internal light refection (bouncing off from the focus cam). I can take picture of the two adapters tonight and post it for you. > > What kind of picture storage comes with it? > Is it a good idea to buy additional storage up front? It uses SD card.

Some likes it blue, and some likes it red. :) > > Is anyone out there a fan of service agreements for these things? > I think it is not a bad idea. I don't have one for mine, yet. Still thinking about it. Hope this help. -Pasvorn
