First week it was very slow, or failed, to lock in to GPS even after 30 mins outside (possibly due to southern hemisphere having less satellites?) but locked in quickly this morning.... john ________________________________________ 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! Henning On 2014-02-06, at 11:39 AM, Tina Manley <images at comporium.net> wrote: > Yes, from Leica.
