MAF-L Manual Focus Sony A (Minolta AF) Lens to Leica SL T Sigma FP Panasonic L-mount digital camera Mount Adapter
SKU: KF06.475
Great, massive adapter that sits firmly and without play on the Sony. I also think it looks very nice. I was hesitant about the price, there are much cheaper alternatives, but the quality is convincing all round. I also think the high-quality inner matting of the adapter to reduce additional stray light, maybe even to prevent it, is great. If I'm looking for an adapter for my objects again, it will definitely be one from K&F Concept. You get great quality.

bought the adapter for a Canon FD on my Sony Alpha and am very satisfied. It is important for the aperture that you set the adapter to "Lock" yourself when adapting, otherwise changes to the aperture have no effect. Has replaced my previous adapter because the quality is significantly better. Processing is 1A, no wobbling or similar and I see no stray light even with longer exposures at night.

For decades my old Canon FD lenses lay dormant until I bought a Sony Alpha 6000. With the K&F adapter, these old "treasures" can continue to be used excellently, right at the top the good FD 8.0/500 mirror lens, without falling into economic ruin... There are 2 variants of the adapter for Canon FD - a standard and a pro -Execution. Basically, I found the Pro to be a bit more visually appealing, but I had already ordered the first one. Conclusion: I will keep both!, since both ensure a perfect connection to the camera and to the Canon lenses...

Too bad the adapter doesn't work with my *SMC Pentax* lenses. No manual focus. Sending it back was absolutely no problem. Thank you, best regards, Gerals Rik

The adapter fulfills its purpose and I am very satisfied with it. Only detaching the lenses is a bit cumbersome, but that's not a big problem. The aperture control also works without restrictions. It is important to mention here again that the adapter does not transfer the autofocus and you have to set it manually.

Really easy to use. It does what it says on the tin, really well. It feels sturdy on my Sony A5100, no wobble. It can hold a heavy telelens perfectly. The aperture ring works well and is easy to control (you can monitor the effects of the larger or smaller aperture on your screen). Everything fits neatly, really precise engineering! I am very happy to be able to use my old, high quality Minolta lenses in this way, certainly for this price. Of course, this doesn't have autofocus, but it doesn't seem to alter image quality. Thank you K&F Concept!

The adapter fits well and the lens has no play. It can be focused to infinity and the aperture opens fully. The aperture ring snaps into place in stages so that you can feel which aperture you are in. Perfect for the price.

First impressions: - good looking - fine workmanship - matte interior finish (light doesn't jump in) - smooth conformance to camera body - smooth shift rotating One ring - comes in an unsealed hard case and nothing else on it - out of the box with any vintage Nikon mount usable lenses - orange ring gives the looks to the whole camera setup - the adapter fits harder on the lenses (needs to be attached) - focus is based more on the depth of field (FOD) difference in the picture frame - it works more like zone focusing and precession focus zones are heavy to reach - metal mount on lens side and (I think it's still a metal) black plastic which looks nice, camera charcoal mount (it's passive adapter and therefore no electrical communication between lens and camera) - light doesn't get through the adapter into the Barrel (sealed fit) - it should come with end caps to the adapter to keep dust out when not in use - for the money I paid I like experimenting with my old lenses on the Sony mirrorless body

But at a price that is well above average, both compared to the competition and in pre-pandemic times. I appreciate the good processing quality, but when the costs for a simple adapter are now more expensive than some old glass, it gets outrageous.

When I ditched my Nikon and switched to the Sony A7IV, I chose this adapter because of the amount of Nikon lenses I already had. Primarily for my Nikon macro lens, on which I focused manually most of the time anyway, it doesn't bother me at all that the adapter is manual. Money was clearly saved here by saving myself the Sony macro. The adapter sits well on the camera and lens, so it fits extremely well and looks sleek. A Nikon lens on a Sony body is always an eye-catcher. The aperture ring is of course also manual and does not tell the camera what aperture level you are at. In the metadata of the photos, it simply shows F--. So you have to develop a feeling for which aperture you have just set. I did notice a little more Cromatic abortion, but that can be quickly remedied in Lightroom by selecting the lens. Images are sharp and the adapter has no downsides other than adding some length to the lens.
