Hi Wayne,

If you want quality, go to cameraquest.com and buy your adapters there. They 
are the only adapters, in my experience, that offer a good, tight fit but 
not so tight that you cannot get them off when required. I used them on 
Leica R lenses on both Canon and Olympus bodies. They are not cheap, $175, 
but you said you wanted the best quality--and that is what Gandy sells.
