I love the color. Works great on my Helios 44M-6 and I love that it places the aperture ring and focus on the side for great viewing!!!

I struggled with myself for a long time whether the expensive Olympus original wouldn't be more sensible. Because the adapter is just an attachment without any glass optics, I decided to give the cheap alternative from China a chance. Right decision! The K&F adapter is made entirely of metal, fits unconditionally firmly and feels very valuable. Clear purchase advice for anyone who wants to use their old OM lenses on the beautiful, compact MFT. Of course, it must be taken into account that due to the crop factor, the focal length must be doubled to compare with full frame. So the 50mm lens in my photos corresponds to 100mm; a very nice portrait focal length. Moreover, the focus is purely manual. Anyone who can live with this limitation gets a great adapter and access to the fantastic, affordable OM system for very little money.

The adapters from K&F, Beschoi and Gobe, which all appear to come from the same source, are characterized by good quality. The second generation of these adapters is made of brass and is therefore of higher quality than the first, which uses aluminum. The aperture is easy to set, there is no play on the lens side and the adapter fits almost perfectly on the camera.

I use the Nikon/MFT adapter on a Panasonic G81. The adapter is very well made, the lenses are tight and free of play (this is not the case with a cheaper Pentax/MFT). The integrated aperture ring controls the aperture in the lens, so that lenses without their own aperture rings can also be used. The image quality is very good. One point deducted for the fact that the distance scale on the lens is no longer correct. The 'infinity' range is now much earlier on the scale. If you set it to "infinity" without checking this, the image will be blurry. But you quickly get used to it. In short, a good way to continue using existing lenses for little money. About the photo: In full resolution, Sigma 28 mm, aperture 1.8

The adapter looks a bit old-fashioned, but fits my 70-210/4.0 perfectly. It is well made, the lens release mechanism seems a bit filigree. But it works perfectly. I now have a 140 to 420mm lens on Micro Four Thirds, and anyone who knows the 'Beercan' knows its quality. The lens does not record, has hardly any CAs and is razor sharp at f/8. Thanks to this adapter I can use it again and I am very happy with it, because I think an accompanying autofocus lens costs at least a thousand euros.

So far I've had five different adapter rings for various K&F system cameras, all mainly for taking portraits or macro photography with Nikon lenses (especially Tokina 100mm 2.8 with Nikon connection). All examples so far have been manufactured very precisely and continue to make a high-quality impression. Therefore, full marks because the price-performance ratio for these items is really excellent.
