minolta AF / Sony A to Sony E mount adapter ring; top only downside due to the very affordable price of this one, manual control of the focus + aperture thanks to the base of the adapter ring!
Very qualitative product mainly in metal
I highly recommend!

I bought this adapter for my new Alpha 7M2. I came from an old sony alpha 450 bought about 10 years ago and on which I mounted some Minolta lenses my father owned in an old analogue. What can I say, he does his job very well.
The body of the adapter is made entirely of metal.
Some notes: as has already been written, the AF obviously does not work and you will have to focus manually (which I do not mind).
Having switched to full-frame, my old fish-eye (made for APS-C), hooked to this adapter, initially showed horrible black borders. However, the sony alpha 7m2 has a setting just for this and allows you to shoot in APS-C mode.
The aperture ring is intuitive and easy to use.

I have tried a few e-mount converters and this one has the most positive feel of them all, no lens wobble or rattling parts, worth the extra few £s

Compared to the original Sony this adapter allows the adaptation of Sony A and Minolta AF lenses only of the bayonet: the transmission of the diaphragm and the data communication body / lens does not exist; as a result, the adapted lenses function as manual aperture preselection lenses. About the diaphragm, this can be operated by acting on the ring on the adapter which has no indications but makes some clicks by counting which you can roughly define the effective value starting from the maximum aperture of the lens (for example if a lens opens to 2.8 by making the ring make 1 click we will close at 4, 2 clicks at 5.6 and so on).
The camera must be set for shooting without lens and in practice it will work in manual or aperture priority, also the focus will be manual but focus peaking assistance is possible.
Ultimately it is a cheap product, well made, economic alternative to the Sony originals; not suitable for action or sports photography, great for everything else. I cannot give information on compatibility with full frame sensors because I use APS C.

This adapter is used to use an A-mount lens on E-mount cameras (in my case a Sony Alpha 6100).
The construction is good, it weighs just enough to notice that it is a quality product, it works perfectly.
You have to keep in mind that with the adapter you will have to use everything manually, that is, manual focus is obvious, but something I did not know is that the adapter comes with a ring to close or open the diaphragm but it does not show the step diaphragm (1.8, 2.8, 3.5, etc).
In the camera as you move the ring it will not appear which diaphragm is being used either, specifically in my camera it says F/0.0, even so, you can use the aperture priority mode and the camera calculates the shutter speed without problems.

This K & F adapter will allow the older Nikon AI lenses to fit onto a Sony E mount camera. It feels well made, awith a good quality finish.
I tried a number of Nikon manual focus lenses on a Sony A7 and all went on well with a reassuringly firm fit and all clicked on positively.
A perfect adapter to use Nikon AI lenses on Sony E lens mount cameras.

Firstly, I have over 100 vintage lenses, so I've tried so many different adapters and this was the first K&F adapter that I bought in 2015 (I'm going through my old purchases to leave long-term reviews). Since then I've bought quite a few more K&F adapters for my other mount lenses, so at this point, you might be able to guess that I like these adapters a lot! So why do I like them so much? They are not the cheapest adapters out there, but for the price, they are the best adapters I've tried so far. They fit onto the camera quite snuggly which is obviously a good thing and the same can be said for the lens side on the adapter. Overall build quality is very good, even better than I would expect at this price point, so I highly recommend these to anyone using vitnage lenses on modern cameras!

I used this to adapt an older Nikon lens to my Sony A7iii cameraFit and finish of the unit is good and it does all that it was expected to do - there is no connection between the lens and the camera as it is full manual focus and f stop adjustmentif you accept this, then this adapter works just fineI can now use my larger old telephoto lens manually on my Sony camera
