I'm confused. It looks like it doesn't have an aperture ring but it states F/G. G lenses don't have an aperture ring, or am I totally mistaken?
A photo won't tell me whether it's clicked or not.
Does this have an aperture ring? Clicked or smooth
It is Nikon G to m43 adapter. Or just check photos.

very excited about a possible FD version for my 50mm.
It'll be available in many mounts, not FD only.
hoping someone here can post a wee video of their findings once they get it.... very excited about a possible FD version for my 50mm.
+1 to FD adapter. If the glass quality is decent I'll def get one.
@brianc1959 Ok, thanks for answering :-)
@oscillian: An anamorphic adapteris difficult to design and would have very limited usefulness IMO. The big problem with all rear anamorphs is that they do not provide the elliptical bokeh that seems to be the main attraction. Given the design difficulties and lack of anamorphic artifacts you would be better off just cropping to the narrower format.
I'd be interested if you know the answer to the fd/m43 version question as well.
As far as I am aware it is planned.
And also, is it your impression the RJ is better than the mitakon ? thanx
We work with RJ for long, long time. And it is his words.
Could I use my m42 glasses with a mechanical m42 to nikon g adapter or do I have to buy one with a lens inside (I saw both versions on ebay) and have further quality loss? Sorry, I know its a bit off-topic, but would help me to buy one of the RJs so. Anybody heard about this: "...the Mitakon later arrival (0.72x), sold by MX-Camera & RJ;" (comment in dp-review)
@DrDave thanks for mentioning about the 8 versions, it lead me to find their website. It only lists their Nex compatible boosters, but a whopping 8, of which they have Sony Alpha lenses, so MAYBE if they are now getting into m43 adapters, they make one for that as well. That would be absolutely incredible for me :)
I'd be interested if you know the answer to the fd/m43 version question as well. Sorry for mixing this with the mitakon. For some reason I was under the impression these were just two rebranded identical products. And also, is it your impression the RJ is better than the mitakon ? thanx
Looks like there are eight versions on their website, but I don't know if they are shipping, or even if the website is real. We will know soon enough.
Anyword of a CANON FD version? The photos on Dpreview look great
thanks
Sammy its in the weekend specials http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/1029/catchit-deals-weekend-specials#Item_3

@brianc1949 Just a thought: would it be possible to make an anamorphic Speed booster?
Any plans to make the adapter work with sony alpha, minolta autofocus lenses?
@Vitaliy_Kiselev
It is pretty clear to me that this is not Mitakon. I wasn't saying that. My point was that the Mitakon is the one that has issues with the BMPCC (your picture is elocuent), not the Metabones.
Regarding RJ Lens Turbo, it looks pretty impressive and cheap.
If my country lets me import foreign products again, I'd certainly like to try it.
Are there any reviews or specs for this 'RJ' adaptor? I'd be keen to see the quality of the shots taken.
First, it is not Mitakon. Period.
Second:
This is back of Mitakon adapter. Easy to understand why it has issues?
Same thing, guys. Read top post, at least. Posts removed.
It is the Mitakon that doesn't work with the BMPCC according to Cheesycam.
