Novoflex has M, R and a few more. The CV adaptor has a tight fit - almost no barrel wriggle on both sides. It was a full $100AUD cheaper than the panasonic adaptor down here though... 2009/8/19 Joseph Low <joelct at singnet.com.sg> > Thanks Daniel - understand the Panasonic adaptors fit better > > Do you know if Olympus offer the M & R adaptors? > > Joseph > > -----Original Message----- > From: lug-bounces+joelct=singnet.com.sg at leica-users.org > [mailto:lug-bounces+joelct <lug-bounces%2Bjoelct>=singnet.com.sg@ > leica-users.org] On Behalf Of > Daniel Tan > Sent: Wednesday, 19 August, 2009 8:55 PM > To: Leica Users Group > Subject: Re: [Leica] Olympus EP 1 > > I've got one with a CV M adaptor. > > body IS is very handy since it works with the adaptors. > > I've been mostly using a CV skopar 28/3.5, Zeiss 2/35 Biogon, 50 lux black > paint and a CV75/2.5 heliar on it.
