Any good?

Thanks

All look like challenging craftsmanship, but: I haven't considered yet -- I have neither G-lenses, nor a FT- or MFT-camera ;-)

There is an extensive discussion of these adaptors ongoing on GetDPI.

in my opinion Kipon is the best of the Chinese Contax G to M43 Adapters.

I have the first G1/2 adapter that came out of China on my 90mm G1 lens and the newer Kipon adapter with the gear on the 45mm lens. Why? I had so much trouble getting the first one off of the 90mm lens that I just bought the other one. Fortunately, I bought the Kipon adapter before they raised the prices. I like the Kipon adapter much better than the other one, but if it gets too close to $ 200 and the first non-geared version stays down around $70, then I'd buy the non-geared one again. P.S. Yes, I suppose I can get the @3$@!* adapter off the other lens if I keep trying, but it's just easier not having to take either one off.

ditto that Larry, I had the hardest time taking the damn first version off of my 90mm as well. Took me more than 30 minutes of wiggling to separate them.

Is there any chance there is a "no crop" digital camera which will accept G lenses via adapter in the making?

The M9 with one of these:

Pricey!

Thank you. Doesn't that require permanent lens conversions? I am looking for a digtial camera with no crop factor which can use the lenses as they are. The M9 is also far too expensive for me.

Yes.

There is none.

There will also never be one. Or at least it's extremely unlikely that someone will build an entirely new full-frame interchangeable-lens camera system with a short enough lens register.

Welcome to the club. Full frame hath its price, in a rangefinder to boot.

Thank you! I will stick with film. No harm done

Yes.
