2.5mm adapter for GH1/GH2?

Looking to add an external stereo microphone to my GH2 but the ones I'm looking at use a 3.5mm plug. The GH2 uses a 2.5mm input so does anyone have a recommendation on an adapter to go from 3.5mm to 2.5mm? Want to capture stereo audio and I've looked on amazon but not sure if I need one with two or three rings on the adapter?
 
I am looking for the same. I would also like it to be a L shaped adapter. My current one that sticks straight out seems dangerous.
 
@larrys, can you confirm these adapters support a stereo mic signal? The official Panasonic connector has a couple of extra bands beyond the ones you link to, as it carries the remote signal as well, so I'm unsure how the GH2 socket receives left and right stereo signals....

Thanks.

I read that this one (the second link, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QU3JN4/ref=oss_product) takes a mono input and outputs a stereo signal as well.

I saw that here:

Can you confirm? I want to use a Rode Video Mic Pro (which is mono) into my GH2's 2.5mm plug and I would prefer the Mic's mono signal to appear on both channels ....

EDIT: Ok it states pretty clearly that the 3.5 female to 2.5 male is stereo to stereo so I picked up one of these at Radio shack so I don't have to clean up the mono in post:
