Has anyone ever bought this adapter ?

Is it worth it? I have a Prominent and while I love the lens that camera is too goofy to use. had it for 20 years and I doubt if I put 20 rolls thru it. Every time I try use it I end forcing myself to finish the roll. I'd love to put the lens on my M7.

Doesn't also CameraQuest have a similar adapter for sale?

Tru dat. I have been having a lot of fun with the Prominent Nokton on my new NEX 5, using 3 adapters- Prominent-Contax; Contax-LTM; LTM to NEX E-mount. Amazingly, it works just fine.

I have a Contax-M adapter from Amedeo.
Maybe a Prominent to LTM may be best for me then.
If I get one day a digital camera with interchangeable lenses, then I can maybe find an adapter for that application too.

CQ has a Prominent to LTM adapter? I'll look again, I didn't see one offered. I think I would rather spend a few more dollars to buy from a known source rather than someone in China.

It may be sold out. I'm unsure about it.
Also, it seems that the adapters are for Nikon or Contax cameras only.

Raid is correct, only for contax and nikon cameras. Lazy me, I should have read more carefully.

It seems that Japan Exposures is also offering this adapter.
