Thanks John. I have two MMF-3 adapters. The reason I have two is that I was a bit wary of having my use of all of my beautiful four-thirds lenses being curtailed by the breakage of a bit of plastic. When I noticed that the MMF-3 adaptors were becoming hard to find, I went out and bought a second one 'just in case'.Larry, the MMF-3 is weather/dust resistant. It's also "plastic".
The MMF-1 and MMF-2 are not w/d resistant, and are made of metal. They are possibly more readily available, and cheaper, but I haven't checked recently.
Another alternative is the Panasonic adapter, but it's also not w/d sealed, but is also metal.
I've never come across anyone who had a problem with any of the brand name adapters, but alignment issues are apparently a commonplace with after-market adapters.
I was wondering a bit about the MMF-2 and MMF-1 adaptors and whether they might be a bit more robust. Apart from a lack of weather sealing, are there any other disadvantages of which you are aware?
