You were probably clear. I got that this was a prototype lens and noticed that they were very interested in feedback and examining constructive criticism. As for them not giving you a lens to keep. Well, technically I suppose they don't want to be accused of bribing the reviewers. And it is a work in progress. But it seems to me the 15mm 1:1 is not a lens you are going to be able fully appreciate without time to explore its possibilities. So they should give you that one! But the ethics! Damn!
As to the adapters...I guess the chip compatibility is the issue. I'd like to have a good nikon/eos chipped adapter, but the reality is I only have about 3 Nikon lenses, so, basically if I had to, I'd just remove the existing chip and replace it with one of my programmable Chinese chips. I'm not a big fan of the chips or the exporter of them, but since they counted wrong I ended up with about 5 or more extras. I suppose I have to find something to do with them. And gluing them on is simple. After you ruin a couple figuring it out...
