They are a prominent *bay seller and offer 6-bit LTM-M adapters at a very attractive price. I ordered one and when it arrived, it looked to be a very high quality adapter. The only problem is that the threads were cut off-axis, so most LTM lenses sit about 60 degrees counter-clockwise from normal when looking at the front of the camera. The seller has really worked with me and been patient over the last week while I've tried to figure out what was wrong. I've expressed my desire to keep an open dialog with them and probably use them in the future since it's the only low cost way to code LTM lenses aside from the sharpie method that needs to be re-done after every two or three lens changings. All that said, has anyone actually been to this shop and spoken with them? They seem very nice through email and very cooperative. I'm just hoping someone knowledgeable about a bit of machine work and QC walks in to fully explain the problem or have the Kipon factory QC problem explained to them. At about $50USD per adapter, I'd code every LTM lens of mine and leave the camera lens detection set to On+UV/IR. Thanks all! Phil Forrest
