Default Budget Leica M adapter ?

Does anyone use a budget Leica M adapter to G1 etc ?
I have seen widely varying prices from £30 odd , Uk , to £120 , which concerns me a little .
I would be using a Leica M to Contax RF adapter , double mounted , hence my concern .
Thanks
dee

Whilst I've no experience of the Leica M adapter, I've got 2 Leica screw adapters, one from Germany at about £60, the other from Hong Kong at about £20 and I can't detect a difference in workmanship, except the cheaper one is actually marginally heavier.

M Leica adapter - I have both the RJ one from China and the "official" CV one "made in Japan".

Both very similar - the CV is better made but not that it is really noticeable

I am happy with either

Thanks , the RJ one will suit me fine as the Contax Rf to Leica M is beautiful but expensive !
