I fail to understand how this feature can be continually overlooked in a day and age where everyone in the world (at least on this forum) seems to be pressed for time. I don't care who made them or what brand name is on them, the Nikon strip and roll film adapters are hassle-free time savers. What is your time worth to you? to your loved ones?
