I am so torn if I should just buy this cheap fotodiox adapter or if I should spend the 200 and get a novoflex.. Is it worth it? and if I get this one adapter, can I adapt any lens to my gh2 pretty much? Or do I need to keep getting adapters for differet lenses? If thats the case, I can't afford more than 1 novoflex..
 
Each adapter will allow the use of the lens the mount is designed for. You are better off picking one lens mount (Nikon, Canon or M42 are the most useful) and building your lens collection around it. Not every lens can be adapted to every camera. For example the Nikon camera can't be (easily) adapted to take Canon lenses but a Canon camera can be adapted to take Nikon. The camera with the shortest distance between the back of the lens and the sensor is the most adaptable. Unless the adapter contains an optic glass for infinity focus or connections to retain active electronics features I can't think of any reason why an expensive one would be necessary. It's just a dumb (non-active) spacer with an appropriate mounting ring.
