Hi Colin!

I used the Fotodiox adapter, with great success, and could find no 
difference between it and the (double the price) CameraQuest adapter, 
though I know that Ted used the CameraQuest adapters with great satisfaction.

I believe that the Novoflex adapter is the best of the bunch... it is 
rumoured that the actual lens mount is made by the firm which 
supplies them to Leica.   Nice springs for keeping the lens fitting 
well without the need for any tweaking or adjustments.  (See 
http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/getting_a_grip.htm and 
http://nemeng.com/leica/002f.shtml as well as: 
http://nemeng.com/leica/017e.shtml )

As for the very low cost adapters, I've heard some reports that they 
work just fine, and others that they do not.... or work only with 
some lenses.  It is, perhaps, an issue of price, and quality 
control.  Sorry, no experience, here.  Perhaps others can chime in, 
if they've tried the others.

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
