......is made to fit!
With the K&F EOS-M4/3 I can now use the zoom lens "Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III" on my Panasonic GH2.
The designation "EF" on the lens indicates which "lens / connection / thread size" it is.
You can find the "lens / connection / thread size" of the camera in the manual or on the respective manufacturer's website. In my case the designation is MFT (Micro Four Thirds).
As it is only a material and not an electronic connection, the focus and aperture setting must be done manually. The camera usually notices that there is no electronic connection, so a change must be made in the camera settings. For the GH2: Individual menu on page 7, the last entry, activate "Release without lens".
Of course there are also adapters that offer an electronic connection. However, the purchase is only worthwhile in a few cases. Everyone should be aware that with this adapter from K&F you have to accept a loss in quality. But for the price, this is not a point of discussion.
In my opinion, the lens adapter is very high quality and is definitely not cheap plastic and fits very well on the GH2.

This very well-made adapter does what is expected. Since Canon EF(-S) lenses generally do not have an aperture ring and the aperture is usually controlled electronically, only wide-aperture shots are possible with this adapter. However, with a Panasonic Lumix DMC GH4 in conjunction with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM lens, you can take some pretty impressive photos of the full moon "freehand" (section of the shot). Since you can't expect more than wide-aperture shots, the adapter gets a full number of stars for the price/performance ratio. Naturally, the focus can only be adjusted manually.

Good quality construction, no play in the lens mounting (50mm f1.8). I reconnect with the joys of using the old-fashioned diaphragm... and mastering depth of field. The Oympus OM-d EM10 body works in automatic mode with real diaphragm without needing to specify anything. A real joy!

I bought this lens adapter to use my old Canon EF lenses on my LUMIX DMC-G7 camera. It fit the camera perfect and the EF lens also fit perfect. Nice and snug and absolutely no play. This is just an adapter and no electronics, so the lens just becomes manual focus which I knew that before purchasing. So it’s perfect for what I’m using it for. The camera will give a warning message that no lens is attached. I just had to change a setting on the camera to allow it to shoot without a lens. Now I have a good variety of older Canon lenses to use. I recommend this adapter!

I'm using this to adapt my Minolta SR mount (MC and MD) lenses to my Lumix GX85. The adapter fits onto the Lumix MFT mount great with a smooth twist and just enough resistance. Some of the SR mount lenses fit a touch stiff though and I worry about breaking the aperture ring when trying to remove these lenses from the adapter, as it is sometimes hard to find a good place to grip the lens. Fortunately, these vintage lenses are built tough, and it hasn't caused issues yet. Whenever swapping lenses I remove the adapter (with lens still attached) from the camera body first. Then I swap the adapter to another lens before I put the lens and adapter back on the camera. That way the stiffness of the SR mount doesn't stress the MFT mount. None of my lenses have any looseness or play when attached with this adapter.

First off, I gave a customer review great because the seller did what was supposed to be done. Sell the product and in tact as described.
HOWEVER...realize that your lens WILL NOT connect to the metal prongs inside your camera as your main lens does. Meaning...your camera may not read ANYTHING.
It is merely an adapter.
Look at your camera, you will see where prongs connect. Now look at the inside of this NOTHING. If it's not reading anything that it defeats the purpose.
In my case, I'm not sure what it can be used for. Perhaps there's a camera out there it may work with.
JUST LOOK VERY VERY CAREFULLY when you do that.
Again...it's not the seller's fault. I'm going to take this as a loss but my brain should've thought "wait, no prongs so it won't read your lens"

I bought the Nikon G one. I can place my G and AI-S lenses on the Lumix G camera. As expected no autofocus. Also, aperture adjustment needs to be manual. it's great to be able to take pictures with high value lenses on a modern small camera body.
The whole mount is made from metal. It feels of good value. I'd highly recommend it for people looking for the same.

Finally an adapter that has a aperture control and has NO problem with infinite focus, using Nikon lenses and E-M10 Mark IV camera.
I tried three different brands and designs before finding this one.
One feature that will make this the perfect adapter is a mount to a tripod to hold heavy lenses instead of leaning all the weight on the camera.

Works as advertised. I can now use my vintage m42 lenses on my Olympus m43 camera. This adapter allows fitting the manual focus lens to m43 digital cameras.
