Seems fine but not for full frame DSLR like Pentax K-1
I tried the MD-PK adapter using my Pentax K-1 full frame DSLR with a Minolta MD Zoom 100-300mm f5.6 Lens. I was able to take photographs with it, however, there is vignetting around the outer edge of the photograph. It appears that this adapter only has this problem when used with a full 24mm x 36mm (35mm full frame) sensor; however, it might work well with other Pentax K (K-3, K-50, etc.) cameras with a smaller APS-C sensor. I can use it on my K-1 in APS-C mode without the vignetting problem, which in effect increases the magnification by 1.5x (at 100mm it becomes 150mm, at 300mm it becomes 450mm). The vignetting of full frame is why I am giving it 3 instead of a higher rating; their website should specify this limitation.It is shipped directly from China, so it took 15 days to arrive. It can be tracked all the way to your mailbox, though.It seems to be well built and time will tell if it properly fits the camera so as not to damage its lens contact. It comes in the box shown, but without any instructions. So, one has to sort of use common sense in attaching it and hope for the best.

I like that it provides a cushion for the drive
I like that it provides a cushion for the drive. There's even a little space for extra cords, not much but I think it will be enough since I'm keeping it all in a fairly small computer bag. It's not exceptionally fancy but considering the price it's great.

Ideal small light
Fantastically bright for such a small panel - tried it out on some portraits and I didn’t have it at anywhere near 100% luminance. The LCD screenwith the battery indicator is very useful, and the controls are straight forward. This will live in my kit bag now - happy to recommend.

Don't miss this deal!
For the price, this is a five star product. Even if it came without the extras like a carry bag and phone bracket (also a remote for IOS and Android phones), the build is top notch and it performs like others priced at least double. Don't hesitate on this one.

Great for Photos
In the past I have always taken a bunch of blank DVDs on a photo assignment to have a backup of the photos I take. That takes up a lot of space and weight in my carry-on bag. This HD is very small and light. It works great so far.

Very handy item or should I say HANDS FREE!
I bought this to record disassembly of motorcycle wheels to get the washers back on in proper order, not ready to do that as yet but just doing a simple test of the tripod it worked exactly as I had hoped. Easy setup and nice to have the storage bag as well.

Brought this for my 7year old grandaughter for her birthday and according to her dad she absolutely loved it as she has recently began showing an interest in the stars etc. They took it to France on holiday and with the bag being included was very convenient to carry around.

great stand light
This is a really good stand light; it's wide enough to illuminate the whole score, 3 settings are nice to have, rechargeable battery is a great idea, very adjustable. A case would be nice, but I can easily bend to fit in my music stand bag.
