I have a 5N on its way to me as a carry around camera and also to use with my M fit lenses. What adaptors are people using? Will a cheapo ebay jobbie be ok to start with and then I could upgrade to one of the helicoidal types if I get on with it?
 
I got a cheap ebay adaptor. Does the job, but not a snug fit. The Voigtlander 40 1.4 rattled a little but was fine to use. The Voigtlander 28 f2 fit a little better though to my surprise, being both m mounts from the same manufacturer. The more pricey adaptors might be worthwhile if you are worried that a looser fit might cause excessive and unnecessary wear to your mount over time :-) at the end of the day, you get what you pay for I guess.

Thanks for that. I will try an eBay special and then upgrade as required.
 
I'm using a metabones adapter, fits snug and looks and feels the part with no rattle.
 
brought a cheap one from ebay, it was rubbish and loose. Bit the bullet and brought the metabones one which is very good. The Hawk Peng is another one which is supposed to be good, allows you to focus closer as well.
 
Might be worth looking at SRB-Griturn, they do adaptors, I got one today for my NEX 5 to use my Nikon glass with. Really good secure fit and seems to be the dogs danglys.
 
Just to update, got one from SRB griturn. Its great quality with no wobble. Nice people too!
 
Seems to be a good company, with great products, glad you're sorted Jim.
