I still had two prime lenses from my film camera, a 28mm and a 50mm with filters. The adapter works fine, I've attached a photo (the one with the flowers) I took with it and the 28mm lens. It focuses to infinity and the sharpness is ok (UV filter was on). Focus and aperture must of course be set manually. But you have to make sure to set the adapter to "Close", otherwise the lens remains open, you cannot adjust the aperture and light comes through. I use this sometimes to create a "soft glow" effect like in the photo with the sofa.

I've read through many product reviews here, where it said you should keep your hands off it, rather grab a more expensive product (> 50 €). That's why I didn't have such high expectations of the adapter, if necessary I would have returned it.
But here one must say unequivocally that the product has far exceeded my expectations. I don't have expensive FD lenses myself. The most expensive one I own is the 50mm 1.8. I get very good pictures with all FD lenses. Of course, the best way to focus manually is to use a tripod or photograph fixed objects. With playing children or animals it is of course more difficult.
I am completely enthusiastic about this and can only recommend this adapter. Compared to "normal" Canon lenses like the 55-250 IS, a 200mm FD lens with an adapter and manual focusing can really keep up in terms of image quality. For proof I've attached pictures I took with a 2x teleconverter and a 200 Carenar 3.5 at f/5.6. My camera is a 1200D.

ve been looking for an adapter for a long time to use my old FD lenses and I came across the K&F adapter, the price-performance ratio really surprised me. The adapter is very good and the materials are very valuable. The handling is very pleasant and I was very impressed by the quality and accuracy of fit.
A clear buy recommendation.

Hello,
I use the adapter on my EOS 7D Mark II to be able to continue using a couple of analog lenses.
The usability, as in the old days, manual . . .
If you have problems with it, you should keep your hands off it or practice, practice, practice. (nothing is impossible)
If you can handle it, you have a great tool at hand and, like me, can continue to use your old lenses or buy them very cheaply!
The image quality depends on craftsmanship or practice makes perfect.
Of course, everything has to be set manually because there is no communication between the camera and the lens.
If you don't have a stabilizer in your camera like me, you should have a steady hand or use a tripod. . .
If you stop down by two f-stops, the images on both the Canon and the Soligor lenses are crisp!
The adapter is of high quality and makes a solid impression, nothing wobbles and sits perfectly on the camera. (everything made of metal)
I can recommend it, I have fun with it and wish you the same.

Processing is good and the picture quality is good.
Inexpensive adapter (with lens) that also works.
Tested on EOS 450 and 80D

With regard to the adapters from various manufacturers, which were often not exactly positive and the mostly positive voices about this product, I was very curious how the adapter would interact with my old lenses and the EOS 600 D from Canon.
I tested the adapter with old original Canon lenses:
1. Macro lens 35mm - Various plant motifs were photographed and the result was impressive. The objects to be photographed were also displayed on the camera's fold-out screen. In some cases, however, I had the impression that the light sensitivity setting was not reproduced faithfully on the screen. But after I experimented a bit with it, it worked satisfactorily.
2. Zoom lens 70 - 210 mm - The zoom lens can be focused without any problems even with the largest zoom factor (which has been criticized with many other adapters. The images in the viewfinder are displayed correctly on the camera screen. And the resulting images are flawless.
The The adapter itself can be easily attached to the camera and does not come loose when changing the lens. The two lenses used could also be attached to the adapter without any problems and are firmly in place.
Overall I am totally satisfied with the adapter. I do not know if a professional would do the same would see, but for me the resulting images are really good, especially when you consider how much money you save by using the old lenses.

Great.
I have an old Tamron 500mm mirror lens that I bought in 1985. I had long thought it was now useless. But no! This adapter actually works so I can use it on my Canon EOS 400D camera. I just set the mode to aperture priority and reduce the exposure by one stop and then use as before. (I set the exposure to one stop under because the lens always seemed to work at a 5.6 aperture setting instead of the 8.0 it was meant to be).
So now I have my old lens.

Was recommended this by a photographer friend and can agree, it‘s the best adapter ! Not at all wobbley. Great way to get more use out of some of the excellent OM lenses, that can be found quite inexpensively these days, on a modern camera.
