I have tried going to both of their websites but I can't find any information regarding ordering them and getting them delivered here in Australia. I've also tried adorama and bhphoto but with no success either, does anyone know a reseller online?

So have you used them personally or seen reviews of them that you can point me to?

So far I like the Mirex one, although I don't have any Hasselblad lenses (I mainly use Nikon) to use the adapter with, the Mamiya lens adapter don't support Nikon for either versions and I find that a bit weird. I guess maybe vignetting issues.

And thanks for that, I will have a chat with them.

I have used Zoerk and Novoflex adapters.
(To put Hasselblad lenses on 35 mm cameras)

The Zoerk thingy was a too tight fit, and i had to machine it a bit more to make it usable.
But i wouldn't base a general 'verdict' on one sample.
The lens catch releas button on the Zoerk is (quite literally) a pain to use. It is a bent bit of metal, with rather sharp and rough, 'serrated' edges. Not nice at all.

The Novoflex was better machined, and easier on the fingers. Like it better.

Both my adapters are rather old, and since i bought them the thingies may have been changed.

I have used the normal mount adapters as well, I bought the fotodiox ones which worked quite well with the Mamiya lenses on my Nikons. For those two other brands though I'm thinking of getting the tilt/shift adapter to use medium format lenses on my 35mm SLRs, although I do like how Zoerk does it with their enlarger lenses on medium and 35mm cameras.

I'm leaning towards the Mirex adapters because of the price and not as complex.
