I bought one recently at DVD technik store.
The adapter is very thin and doesn`t look like the one of the pictures, actually I think it's made of some alluminuim alloy (really dont know) but due to the price and the shipping cost I would say it's a fair price.
Know, my problem was that they sent me a wrong adapter a 35/135 frames
and I had ordered the 90 one.
I would ask if they have the adapter you need because at ther webpage store they don't offer this adapters anymore.

Anyway good luck.

Hey mad_boy, don't know your location, but if in US..

I just bought a couple from B&H, listed under Used. They are new Kenko brand in generic boxes. The shipping cost to me was low, so a good deal at $39.95 each. The description of the thin, possibly aluminum, is a turn-off to me for an item like this. The Kenko looks similar to the Marumi, or the Leitz, and seems to be well made. I do know the brand, they have been around for years.

Good hunting,

Harry

I also purchased an adapter at DVD Technik. I found out about this company from AlexC, from whom I purchased my M3. The adapters from Leica and Voigtlander are "mirror" polished. The DVD adapter is more of a "matte" surface.

The adapter is "adapting" the same as my Leica and Voigtlander ones. It could be slightly thicker as my J3 focus index lines up straight, where it overturns with a Leica adapter.

I will not be able to test this thing for a while because I will be testing my J3 and other lenses first. Many J3's need shim adjustments etc.

The adapter appears to be doing the job so far. DVD Technik shipped on time economically, but I also bought the J3 there which spread out the cost.

I have all three but have not shot enough to see a difference if any, (still testing the camera and lenses). Hope this helps. 🙂
