I bought it to use on the TECHART LM-EA7. I was prepared that some processing might be necessary as it affected reviews and blogs, but I was able to use it without processing.

Used on Techart Pro (so not Leica system), very useful for adapting M42 lenses to my Sony (Techart Pro adapter has Sony to Leica M connection). A bit expensive for a piece of metal but at least it's not plastic, it looks good and it's not difficult to attach.

The processing precision is high enough to enjoy various M42 mounts, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. Old lenses contain a lot of dust, so the blower must be cleaned before putting it on.

You can also use the aperture with NEW FD mount lenses without a locking mechanism using this adapter.
After attaching the lens to the adapter, if you turn the LOCK-OPEN ring on the adapter to LOCK, the aperture diaphragm will move according to the aperture ring on the lens.
The same applies to FD mount lenses that have a locking mechanism. So it is an adapter that can be used with aperture for both FD and NEW FD, regardless of whether there is a locking mechanism or not.

I bought a K&F PK, OM, MD, FD, Nikon, M42, L/R mount adapter for the TECHART LM-EA7 and tried to install it.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to connect only K&F MD and Flod to the LM-EA7.
When
I googled LM-EA7 FD
LM-EA7 MD, I found a mount adapter that was tested for installation.

use a combination of M42 lens, main adapter and VM adapter VM-E Close Focus Adapte α7. There is no practical problem, although there is a slight overflow, the tightening and detaching is smooth, and there seems to be no problem with the working accuracy. If you notice, it is still attached to all M42 lenses. Speaking of greed, I would not say that the color is a little duller.

To mount a Voighlander Leica M lens on a Fuji
X E3, very good manual coupling card but a bit thick but that was shown on the announcement and it could be due to the optical pressure. So very satisfied.

I got the L/RL/M adapter to use a Leica R macro lens on the Leica M for the few macro photos I take. I didn't feel like paying 160 EUR for an original Leica adapter, so I bought this one from K&F. The R lens fits perfectly, with no play, and the connection to the M camera is also perfect. It goes on and off easily, without using any force, without anything wobbling. Perfect for my application. I have bought 3 K&
F adapters so far and am very happy with them. They make a high-quality, stable impression.
It may be that after years they no longer have the quality of an original from Leica, due to larger manufacturing tolerances, but at the moment it is great.

I bought a FD → Leica M. It is an FL lens that may or may not be used depending on the lens, but I was able to use it normally with 50mmF1.4. The FD lens mount has a locking mechanism. Although the structure is more complicated than other mount adapters, the price is the same as other mounts, so it is very helpful. Thanks to this locking mechanism, it is also possible to move the aperture flap, and in the case of an F1.4 lens, this is very convenient because it can be used as an aperture ring for F1.4 → F2.8 → F5.6 → F11 when the aperture is set to a minimum.

As the title suggests.
I'm talking about FD lenses. The first model and the conventional LM-EA7 compatible version interfered with the M-mount button of the LM-EA9, but the version purchased on 2023/1 had a safe escape this time and I was able to install it safely.
Immediately after the arrival of the LM-EA9, the first model was scraped and used, but after being scattered several times, the internal parts were lost, so I bought it this time to remove the parts...
If that doesn't mean that they were able to carry it due to individual differences, I hope that K&F as well as Tech Art and Focus Studio will make announcements soon.
