Probably best at the price.
This adapter isn't expensive, just under eleven pounds at time of purchase, and whilst pitched at the lower end of the price scale for these adapters, I was surprised at the build quality and finish. I have a large range of legacy glass from my film shooting days from the likes of Leica, Zeiss, Voigtlander, Olympus, Minolta, Fuji, Tamron, Praktica, and several Russian lenses and I have been using a range of inexpensive adapters to use these lenses on my Sony A7 and Nex cameras where I found the results were variable, mainly due to lens misalignment. These cheap adapters are clearly not precision units, and this shows.Having recently acquired a Fuji X Pro-1 I wondered how some of the above glass would work via adapters and having come across this range I ordered two, one for Olympus and the other for Minolta. As I said earlier the build and attention to finish is exceptional for the price, but more importantly, the adapter allows proper lens alignment allowing for even sharpness across the frame. The adapter fits the Fuji mount securely and precisely with no play and the same can be said for the Minolta mount: the lens fits securely without being held too loosely or tightly. All in all, well worth seeking out if you have a Fuji X-mount camera.
