And still are, if anyone's keeping track -- mine turned up yesterday.
First initial test results look very promising; one interesting test was
the vivitar 55/2.8 macro, which turns into a 110/2.8 macro lens that'll
fill the frame with a ~17mm across (horizontally) image, but longer
lenses will have to wait for today when it's brighter outside. I'm not
sure if that's what the maths of sensor size would expect, but in
practise it's what I get; still a 1:1 image, I suppose.
(and wow, it didn't take me long to get soft and wimpy and used to
autofocus. This is the point at which I've started to really miss the
old OM viewfinder and split-image screen..)
