I just noticed that Metabones does not offer Nikon to EOS adapters.
Fotodiox seems to have a good reputation (haven't tried these though).
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...
Nikon to EOS adapters are not hard to produce well, since they can consist of a main ring machined in one piece.
That said, I have one that has some wiggle room, one that is well produced and solid, and one that is too thin (!!). The wiggle one might not be the best idea for 12mm...
Fotodiox is way overpriced for what they are?

They do, actually. Several, including ones for G-lenses. They are available over here.
Kind regards, Wim
