I have the RJ adapter. I'm just waiting for my Contax G 45/2 and 90/2.8 lenses to arrive. As soon as they do, I'll post some results. Or, someone else will beat me to the punch.Any new information or development on this G adapter? Someone must be using the RJ adapter by now. 55 adapters have been sold so far.
I just got the RJ adapter, just because I still had a G 45 Planar lying around. I have no sample images as I've mostly just been pointing it at things around the house to try the focus wheel out.
Conclusion: it works, but kind of a pain. That is, I won't be shooting moving objects with this setup. First, given where the AF screw is, the wheel is in an awkward placen. So I need to modify your hand position to get to it. In that regard, it looks like Monza's geared version which protrudes a bit might work better. The lens sure *looks* cool on the EP1 though.
Oh, the other problem is... I can't seem to get the lens back off the adapter. There's a lens release button, but it seems that since the AF wheel engages with the AF screw and there's no provision for releasing that I can't get the bayonet to turn. Perhaps I'll figure it out...
Realistically, I'll be using my M-mount lenses in that range (I have 35, 40 and 50) as focusing is much easier, but I had to get one of these to try out my G45...
