JUNK. $75 or $90 Can you elaborate on the differences between the Leitz adapters and the others? I've got a couple Leitz ones, and one non-Leitz one (not sure who makes it), and I haven't noticed any differences. But I rarely use them, so maybe it's just a matter of time. Are the non-Leitz ones made with softer metals that wear faster? Are tolerances sloppier? By the way, hold out for lower-priced Leitz ones. I refused to pay the ridicuolously high $75 for a used adapter, and spent about half that on each of my Leitz adapters, and $25 for the non-Leitz one that seems to work just fine. The more often we pay $75, the quicker the prices will go up!
