Watch the serious softness on the right!

I was asking the same question a few weeks ago, and somebody recommended this adapter. Is only 12 US$ (1/10th of the price of the Panasonic), and, as he said, is 95% of the image quality.

I haven't tested it myself yet, since I'm waiting for a step down converter ring, but for the occasion, I just went out the door and snapped a couple test shots, but hand holding it in front of the lens. You can see is very soft on the right side, but the left is much better, so I blame my hand holding, and not being completely centered.

First the adapter: Fujifilm WL-FXE01

Now the test

No adapter

Converted to 10.6mm

Thank you for pointing this one out. It loks promising even though the only option for buying in germany I found is from an US ebay seller. It still would be 1/6th of the panasonic. I will look into it. If you receive the stepdown ring I would really like to see some pictures.
