That's the one I have and it is very well made with thoughtful touches like a rotating bevel to keep from scratching the electrical contacts on the G1 body. A local Lugger bought the Chinese version and it fits loosely on the G1 and he doesn't recommend it. Novoflex makes their adapters in Germany and the quality and cost is reflected in the price. I expect it would be excellent. My other Novoflex adapters are. Cheers Howard
