  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..)
