Leica M39 Lenses to M43 MFT Lens Mount Adapter K&F Concept M19121 Lens Adapter, Non-SLR port M39
SKU: KF06.254
For a long time I debated whether the expensive original from Olympus wouldn't make more sense. But since the adapter is just an attachment without any glass optics anyway, I decided to give the cheap alternative made in China a chance. Right decision! The K&F adapter is made entirely of metal, sits unconditionally and feels very valuable. Clear purchase recommendation for anyone who wants to use their old OM lenses on the beautiful, compact MFT. Of course, you have to take into account that due to the crop factor, the focal length has to be doubled in order to compare it with full format. So the 50mm lens shown in my photos is equivalent to 100mm; a very nice portrait focal length. In addition, the focus is purely manual. If you can live with this limitation, you get a great adapter and access to the fantastic, inexpensive OM system for very little money.

The item corresponds 100% to the description on the Amazon site, and at this price. I already own a few adapters, also for other connection systems and sometimes at significantly higher prices. Their production and usability quality, including tolerances on the bayonet connection, can often be rated "well....". Another tip for the possible purchase of such an adapter especially for the use of current Nikon lenses: Always make sure that the adapter, like the one described here, is equipped with an aperture ring. Because without this aperture ring, such an adapter can only be used for older Nikon lenses with their own aperture ring. Incidentally, I paid just €15.99 for this adapter on Amazon. The interested reader may check what such a part with the inscription Novoflex costs and whether this part is manufactured in Gemany is another exciting question......

Bought to use my old Nikkor 50mm 1.8 Ai-s on an Olympus Pen E-PL7 as a portrait lens. The adapter pleases both visually and haptically and is very well made. Securely attaches to Nikon lens, securely snaps onto Pen's MFT bayonet like an Olympus or Panasonic lens. Nothing wobbles, no play. I have not tested the light tightness of the adapter against stray light under darkened conditions. The adapter is quite massive at 97 g, but this is reflected in a balanced weight distribution, a pleasant feel and also in a shake-free handling of the entire camera. In connection with focus peaking, manual focusing is really fun. I can use it to focus manually at least as well and quickly as I used to with the sectional image screen of the analogue SLR camera.

My old, analogue photo equipment was still lying around in the basement, useless, when I discovered this lens adapter by accident. The old Minolta lenses can now be used on my digital Panasonic without any problems. Had to search a little because of the necessary setting, this combination is of course not intended. Focusing is like it used to be, not that easy for me as a glasses wearer without a sectional image indicator. The quality of the images is convincing, but with a little practice it works quite well again. Because you have to focus manually (with my lenses), it is not really suitable for "snapping".

I'm still very excited that I don't have to buy new lenses, but can use ancient sony/minolta lenses. Although the description says that the autofocus works, of course it's NOT TRUE - for around 20 euros it doesn't work!!. Very good workmanship! Fits perfectly (both sides). If you can do without autofocus, it's a diamond! Clear purchase recommendation. Because of the wrong item description (autofocus) I deduct a star! Please correct!

didn't expect much at the rather low price, I just wanted a solution to give my grandfather's old lenses a use again^^ However, I am very pleasantly surprised! The processing is absolutely high quality. Everything is metal, arrives clean and dust-free, and fits the body of my G70 perfectly. The PK bayonet also fits perfectly, the lever for unlocking the lens is also made of very high quality metal and does not give the impression of being able to break quickly, as is often the case with such cheap products. All in all, I can recommend these adapters to everyone without reservation and with a clear conscience! :)

If, like me, you still have 2 Minolta Dynax 7000i lenses in your closet, the temptation to continue using them is great. But how ? Very easily. Buy an adapter from K&F !!! You have to realize that this adapter costs just €20, a fraction of what other adapters cost. And what do you get? Such a high-quality adapter that is incredibly solid, sits absolutely precisely and, on top of that, also holds my "stovepipe" AF 70-210 mm (a good 800g). Of course there is no electric Transfer takes place, but for the occasional use of the old lenses, this adapter is simply terrific. We recommend. And the delivery was within 8 days. Just great !!

After a lot of back and forth with much more expensive Fotodiox adapters, in which you sometimes couldn't even lock the lens, I ordered this one from the lower end of the price range to try it out - and it convinced me! The flange focus seems to be pretty accurate, infinity is really almost at the ∞ setting, and not at 3m like some other adapters. The aperture ring is very easy to use, it runs smoothly and is also easily accessible. Both the locking and the unlocking work wonderfully on the camera and lens side. Conclusion: Good quality and feel for just €16 - what the expensive Fotodiox for €80 couldn't do...

The processing leaves nothing to be desired. Even the MC/MD unlock has a mushroom head. Cheaper competition presses itself into the flesh. Good fit on both sides, nothing wobbles or jams. From Shenzhen to Berlin in nine days. The adapter focuses on the Lumix GX7 Minolta MDs and MCs to infinity. Correct for my MD 2.8/24, the 1.8/35 and 1.7/50. which release beautifully when the aperture is open. The sharpness can be set with pinpoint accuracy using edge framing. But the magnifying glass is also sufficient for focusing. worth buying. With fast MTF fixed focal lengths, the money is mercilessly collected. Does not have to be. Manual focusing is a breeze with the GX7.

bought this adapter to use my old analogue lenses on a Lumix G6 to achieve a kind of "retro" look in videos. And what should I say? The adapter does its job well - the lenses are secure and you don't have to worry about anything falling off. Even with a telephoto lens, you don't have to worry about the lens detaching from the adapter or even the adapter detaching from the camera. So a clear buy recommendation from me.
