Arrived very quickly. Items as expected and seem well made. I tried the Canon fd to mft adapter with my Panasonic GX80 and a Canon 35-70 FD lens. No problems at all. Very pleased and would definitely recommend supplier to other people. (If thinking of buying, bear in mind that all settings are manual when using this adapter...no auto focus or exposure.)

This adaptor is of good quality,fits the lenses well,but there are no instructions whatsoever on how to attach it to the lenses.It was initially a very frustrating purchases,as I could not figure out how to fit the lenses to the adaptor.Even You tube videos did not make it clear. I very nearly threw the adaptor away in frustration and anger.It was only after many days searching the internet that I found the answer on the Photo.net forums.Which is that,' The raised red index button on the outside of the lens must be aligned with the red dot on the flat circular plate on the back of the lens (i.e., the plate in which the various aperture levers are located). If these are not aligned on your lens, rotate the inner portion of the back of the lens counterclockwise while pushing in the chrome lens lock button. The back of the lens should click into position when the red index button and red dot line up.' Had I not found this information I would have thrown the adaptor away,and moved away from Canon lenses altogether.

Am happy with it, well made and does what it says. Have put old canon 50mm manual FD lens on my Panasonic Micro Four Thirds Camera. My only negative is I keep accidental moving the Lock > Open by rotating it and it makes the lens go full aperture. Is not to big an issue as I am aware of it and always keep checking it.

I bought this to use Canon FD lenses with a Panasonic GH4 in a fully manual mode. (This is a simple adapter and does not provide any communication between lens and camera.) The adapter seems well built. It fits well on both camera and lens and the Lock/Open ring turns smoothly. (This ring controls the aperture, and should be set to Lock when attaching the adapter. In the Lock position, the lens's aperture ring will change the aperture. In Open position, the lens remains wide open.)

I picked up some earlier Canon FD lenses very cheaply and wanted to experiment with mounting them on my Lumix G80 4/3 rds camera. The FD lenses are 'mechanical' so there is no electrical connection possible between the camera body and the lens in fact, you have to tell the camera body that you are "shooting without a lens" (it's in a menu option) therefore the purpose of this adapter is simply to provide a mechanical/physical connection between the body and the FD lens. What this means is you set your camera to full manual mode, set the aperture on the lens barrel and focus manually using the lens, all great fun and this adapter works very well.

Good quality kit for the price. Took some time to work out mounting as there were no instructions with the package or on the website. Same issue with the use of the Lock/Open ring. I set towards Open (ironically with Lock at top centre position) for mounting, then in the Lock direction (with Open in the top centre position) to use, which allows full aperture composing and exposure setting. In use all works well, but there is a bit of sloppiness in the adapter when rotating the aperture ring which I put down to the cranky FD mount. A good cheap way to extend a MFT lens collection - a Canon 50mm 1.8 has given me a fast 100mm telephoto where the quality exceeds the 14-42 kit lens that came with the OMD EM10 II. Cool.

This is a really well made adaptor - metal front and back - so looks like it'll last a while. I bought the Canonf FD-m43 adaptor - and it came with no instructions at all - so I had to search online for the right way to fit an FD lens on it......basically you need to turn the OPEN-CLOSE ring so that the CLOSE text it at the top of the ring.....mount the lens......and the move it to OPEN to operate at full aperture .... and then remebering to move to CLOSE so the aperture stops down before you take the shot. This sounds like a real faff but it isnt - it very straightforward ! I've tried this with a Canon FDn 300mm lens and a 50nn f1.8 FD breechlock lens - and it's worked faultlessly with both. i would definitely by a K&F Concept adaptor again - probably the M42 and Pentax PK ones.
