I have several Leica M lenses and I was looking for an adapter ring, but the original Fuji has always seemed to me excessively expensive even if it has some functions in itself such as aperture recognition. But the price difference is truly incredible. Well built and durable ring and now I use a 90mm Leica M on the X-PRO1 without any problem. Obviously forget the automatisms, but with a little attention you will not have any problems.

It is a great adapter at a very low price compared to a very high quality. I also have the original and I must say that the mechanical quality is identical. It must be said, however, that it lacks electronic contacts for communication with the camera body and a "function" key to allow you to choose the necessary settings and functions.

I bought the M39-FX adapter so I could use my old Leica screwthread lenses on my newly bought Fujifilm X-Pro 2. The adapter hasn‘t disappointed me. It's well made and is delivered with its own storage box. I'm impressed.
I was a bit worried at first, as I knew the M39 referenced an odd Russian LTM thread copy lens mount, but the actual lenses would not focus correctly on any camera other than the model it was designed for. If that were the case, then all my L39 lenses wouldn't work. But they do, so K&F have breathed new life into old rangefinder lenses. Many many thanks.

It works perfectly, mounts without a problem and looks pretty well built. On a well-known auction site they ask twice as much... For me, 100% recommended.
In order to use it, you have to program the camera so that it can shoot without a lens (I have a Fujifilm X-E3); otherwise the camera does not detect the target and does not shoot. This can be adjusted in one of the camera menus.

Excellent - expensive, but does the job perfectly.

With Fuji charging £150 and Novoflex asking £120 for a Fuji X to Leica M-bayonet adapter I wasn't expecting so much for the modest sum asked for the K&F product. But I was very pleasantly surprised - it is well made, well finished, and snaps into place accurately with no looseness, and no over-tightness either. It's the kind of quality we used to get from respected mid-market independent brands like Vivitar in the past.
UPDATE
Just purchased a NIKON G adapter to go with the Leica M adapter. It really is an exceptionally good piece of kit for the asking price - both my modern "G" lenses and my older manual focus AI/AIS lenses work fine on it.

Ring a little hard, no play more than normal, nice finish. Occasional use = very good and less expensive than fuji. great delivery.
Note on use: the precision of the focus remains delicate with the adapted optics (tested with leica and nikon + optics with large apertures) it follows an inaccuracy of sharpness on the final result despite many precautions, so use in backup only, and by the same preference for fuji optics on fuji cameras

Nice piece of kit. I thought at first that my Nikon lenses would not slide on, but it‘s quite stiff pushing against the leaf-springs inside, but it then gives way and is a very secure fit.

I must be happy with these K&F adapters as this is the fourth one I own. Finish is excellent. Lens mounts securely on the adapter and the other end fits snugly on the camera without any sense of wobble or looseness. I've tried 3 lenses so far all focus well. As I've found with other mounts all lens focus slightly beyond infinity. This is not a big deal but so some care will be needed at wider apertures to ensure infinity focus is good. Docked one star because of focusing past infinity. I'd give it six stars if it was equipped with a close focus helicoid to allow closer focusing.
