The good news is the MA1 adaptor is fully coupled, so you need only one and you get all supported functions of the 4/3rds lenses if used with them. If you're just going to use K lenses on the m43 body I'd wait a few weeks for the Novoflex m43-K adaptor to become available. The MA1 adaptor does pay for itself if cobined with good eBay 4/3rds to F and K (or in my case, F and C/Y) adaptors. You get three mounts for the price of 2 native Novoflex adaptors. -- M.
