Having just swapped over to Sony from Canon, after many years of being loyal to Canon and having many of their lenses, I ended up with a few of their cheaper lenses that simply weren't really worth selling as the shipping and hassle would've been more than what the lenses are worth.
So I decided to put the lenses to good use with my new A7 III, but I first needed an adapter. Enter this adapter. It's incredible!
Sure, it only allows for manual focus, even though my Canon lenses are AF, but who cares? This adapter has allowed me to get back to basics with my camera and enjoy photography, almost at grassroots level. It's so refreshing, especially with photography being my main business.
The adapter is built like a tank, and together with its box, it fits comfortably into my camera bag. I don't go anywhere without it.

Firstly, I have over 100 vintage lenses, so I've tried so many different adapters and this was the first K&F adapter that I bought in 2015 (I'm going through my old purchases to leave long-term reviews). Since then I've bought quite a few more K&F adapters for my other mount lenses, so at this point, you might be able to guess that I like these adapters a lot!
So why do I like them so much? They are not the cheapest adapters out there, but for the price, they are the best adapters I've tried so far. They fit onto the camera quite snuggly which is obviously a good thing and the same can be said for the lens side on the adapter. Overall build quality is very good, even better than I would expect at this price point, so I highly recommend these to anyone using vitnage lenses on modern cameras!

Saved me from buying expensive lenses.
It fit perfectly and worked flawlessly for my trip to Italy for a month.
I would buy from this manufacturer again given the quality and versatility with my automatic lens features without doing much research for competitors.

Really well made and so very fine as a design item. Works really well. Fits really well. The only weakness is the glossy internal black finish that reflects some light sometimes and creates glare in some images. Paint your barrel internal shaft matt black K&F! C'mon! I spray painted the internals after taking it apart. It only takes 30 minutes. Taking into account a top quality adapter tears your money for over £100 this is a very good adapter if you are able to paint the insides. And it is incredibly heavy, but it feels superb.

I was surprised with the build quality of this adapter, it being very good!However, I use a Fujinon 55mm f/1.8 manual lens with this on a Sony A6500, and I cannot focus to infinity.This is because the adapter needs to hold the lens ever-so-slightly closer to the sensor.I know it is not a problem with the lens as it focuses to infinity just fine on my actual M42 mount film camera.Any focus closer than infinity works just fine, it's just a little frustrating that I can't use this for landscape / long shots.
