I got mine about 3 weeks ago as well, and also the multi-function grip. Both 
work well, and the adapter is certainly nothing like any third party ones 
I've seen. Almost seems worth the money. On the other hand, why does it take 
16 months after announcement to produce something like this? It's 
manufactured in Portugal, and I'm very sure it doesn't take 16mo. to show 
Portuguese how to manufacture something like this. I've had my camera for 11 
mo., and this simple tube takes that much longer to appear!
