VGR - what a great set!
Now only thing that I need is a Peleng 8mm, but is terribly expensive in Poland (above 330 €). Probably I'll import this lens from USA, where is much cheaper (~250 € including shipping and pay-pal costs). VGR - how much it costs in Belarus? This lens is great for 4/3 system - it gives the field of view about 160 degrees (diagonal) without black corners Cool

Thanks for the answer! 300$ = ~203 €. It isn't a big price for such wonderful lens! Unfortunately I live in western Poland so travel to Belarus is quite expensive Sad
By the way - in the past Peleng costed 100$... I'm shocked Very Happy

VGR, Is it possible for you to design and manufacture Contax/Yashica adapter for Nikon bodies? I know that there would not be inifnity focus, but for some uses it would be great (portraits with 85/1.4, 135/2.8, etc...)
how about Exacta adapter to Nikon/Canon body?

I think you would be able to use those lenses only as macro (real closeup, detail), I don't think you will be able to fit a whole face in the frame in correct focus.

Does anybody have any examples of the Peleng on 4/3? Or a link to some?
I find I am looking at the idea of a 4/3 as a second/third body.
I'm always very impressed with the RAW file quality I see from friends 4/3 cameras.
