  1. I have only K&F adapters, I measured them and they are pretty precise (if they are not exactly flat the lens will be tilted in relation to the sensor resulting in a wrong focus plane. One problem, with I believe all of the adapters, is light filtering in from the gap between the lens and the adapter itself... maybe also between the body and the adapter. This is an issue you will notice only in long exposure in day light... and it is not a big deal, just cover the lens barrel with a piece of cloth and the problem is gone I have an X-T20 and an X-T10 I only use manual lenses, at the moment I have: Samyang 12mm f2 Tokina RMC 17mm f3.5 Olympus OM Zuiko 28mm f2.8 Olympus OM Zuiko 28-48mm f4 SMC Takumar 35mm f3.5 Konica Hexanon AR 40mm f1.8 Yashica Yashinon DS-M 50 mm f1.7 Industar 61 52mm f2.8 SMC Takumar 55mm f1.8 Helios 44-M 58mm f2 Olympus OM Zuiko 75-150mm f4 Canon nFD 85mm f1.8 Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f3.5 (I dropped this and the barrel is bent sadly... it was a great lens) I had other lenses in the past but sold them: Canon nFD 24mm f2.8 (like the 28 Olympus better) Tokina RMC 28mm f2.8 (almost as good as the Olympus and cheaper) Tamron Adapt-All 28mm f2.5 (maybe was my sample but not a good lens) 2 Konica Hexanon 50mm f1.7 (I have too many around 50 already and I like the Yashinon better) Some other I don't recall but probably do not deverve mentioning Beside quality I developed the search for compact lenses because I like the small X-T20/X-T10 bodies, the Konica Hexanon 40mm is a great lens (besides at 1.8, I do test the lenses with charts) and it is very compact even with the adapter, 40mm is an interesting focal lenght also on a Crop sensor. My prefered focal lens is 28mm and the Olympos OM Zuiko 28mm 2.8 is a fantastic lens, I also like a lot the two zooms. From 40mm up I find myself using them less and less, I'm not really a portrait photographer and on a Crop sensor 50mm is, in my opinion already in that ball park I do like a tighter field of view even in landscape (which happens to be what i do the most) but I tend not to bring too many lenses if i have to walk for 6/8 hours.... but I should
