Hi Jim,

Hi have been using Fotodiox for my adapters (without chips). They  
have been reliable. I believe most of the adapters sold are the same  
except for the very expensive Leica and Novoflex (which are better  
made for 10X the price).

Look here.

cPath=27&products_id=4138>

It looks like any 4/3 adapter is $27.95 from them.

Len
