G1 - stacking two adapters

[KEH]

Stacking works like a charm. This is taken with the G1, m4/3 to 4/3 adapter plus 4/3 to Contax/Yashica adapter (Fotodiox):

Lens is a Contax/Yashica Disogon 28/2.8. I'm gonna love this lens for B/W.

Cheers,

Yes. But be careful where you hold the lens when stacking. The more adapters you have, the more release buttons there are to hit.

I was at Lords for the cricket last week. I took in my G1 with a Tamron 350 f/5.6 mirror lens to catch some of the action. That requried:
a Tamron Adaptall-2 to Contax/Yashica adapter,
a Contax/Yashica to Leica M adapter,
a Leica M to Micro 4/3rds adapter.

The lens is short but heavy, so I was holding the setup by the lens rather than the G1 body. And then my hand fell on a button release.

Then the camera fell off the lens.

Then the camera fell INTO the pint of beer belonging to the gentleman in front of me.

My G1 now has beer stains ON the sensor. That aint cool.

Ouch! And now all your photos smell of beer - don't you just hate that?
