The good and the bad
1) All of my Zuiko lenses are sitting too far from the sensor - Infinity focus happens when their distance scales are at about 7 meters. This is not really an issue when manual focusing, but I can't rely on a lens barrel's Infinity stop. It's a good thing the Sony a6000 has Focus Peaking and Ficus Magnification - they are absolutely necessary for manual focusing at Infinity using these adapters.2) All of my Zuiko lenses can be focused more closely than on an OM body. This somewhat compensates the Infinity-focus problem. :-)3) All of my vintage zoom lenses lack the resolution that can be captured by the Sony a6000 24MP sensor. They are just soft, even in the center at f/8, even though they were mire than acceptable with film.4) Only five of my Zuiko primes are up to the task: 50mm f/1.8, 50mm f/3.5 Macro, 55mm f/1.2, 200mm f/4 and 300mm f/4.5. The rest are too soft, wide open, but ridiculously better at f8. The 50mm f/3.5 Macro and the 200mm f/4 are spectacular with the Sony a6000 (at 77mm and 308mm equivalents).5) The OM to E-mount adapter exacts about a 1/2-stop loss of speed from the vintage lenses, much as would any extension tube. It's not a problem, thanks to good high-ISO performance.6) Many lenses made for digital sensors are designed to deliver the light as perpendicularly as possible - to avoid the CA (chromatic aberration) "purple fringing" seen with lenses that were designed for film. I'm getting a lot of CA in the corners of the frame, but it's easily fixed in Photoshop. Note: There's no CA by shooting at f/8 instead of wide open.Lastly: I later bought a Fotodiox adapter and a Fotodiox Pro adapter for comparison and find them to be essentially identical in quality and function, so far, except the blades that engage the adapter to the camera body are about twice as thick with this K&F Concepts adapter and the Fotodiox Pro adapter, where the blades for this Fotodiox adapter are quite thin - which leads me to believe this K&F Concepts adapter (or the Fotodiox Pro adapter) would be the better choices when mounting a heavy lens (or perhaps any lens). Otherwise, the most significant difference is their weights. The aluminum and brass K&F Concepts adapter weighs 3.5 oz. The aluminum Fotodiox adapter weighs 3.2 oz. and the Fotodiox Pro weighs 3.1 oz. See photos...All three adapters have a length of 33mm, from the body mount to the lens mount, and again, they all focus well short of Ininfity.Again, the blades that engage the adapter to the Sony camera body are the same thickness for the Fotodiox Pro and the K&F Concepts, but are much thinner (for some reason) with the Fotodiox adapter. Oddly, they all feel the same when attaching lenses or when attaching to the camera body.If I had to do it all over again and money were no object, I would get the Fotodiox Pro, due to its being the lightest of the three at 3.1 oz. vs. 3.2 and 3.5 oz and having thick blades, rather than skinny blades. But the K&F Concepts comes out on top for having the best price, the thick blades similar to the Fotodiox Pro, but weighing 3.5 oz. instead of 3.1 oz. I would avoid the Fotodiox adapter due to its thin blades, where attached to the camera body - they do not inspire confidence. Again, the blades are thicker with the Fotodiox Pro and this K&F Concepts adapter.

Super charge it by adding a hummingbird quickplate
After buying so many mini-tripods, pocket selfie sticks etc, THIS turns out to be the one that I really needed for my personal use. I use it with a small vr180 camera (vuze xr), and I keep the ulanzi hummingbird quickplate on it to make mounting simpler between my tripods which also have the same quickplate.

Just arrived, but upon first inspection, it appear
Just arrived, but upon first inspection, it appears to be the same as tripods that cost cost twice the price. First impression is very positive. I'll run it through its paces and see if it lives up.

An actual sturdy tripod
Most of the tripods people buy nowadays are all about light weight to the point where the tripods are basically useless as a tripod. This Tripod is sturdy and is currently carrying maybe a 7 pound spotting scope on it while still having the features to maneuver the spotting scope.

I love this whole system because the same neckstra
I love this whole system because the same neckstrap works with multiple cameras and tripods. (I ALWAYS clip my camera strap to the tripod )

Not all strands packaged the same
The lights themselves are fine. I bought 4 boxes for my patio. These lights were not packed as a box of lights inside a box for shipping. They simply shipped the box holding the lights without anything else. Two boxes were packed with foam and two were packed with cardboard dividers. The two packed with foam had busted light bulbs on it. I ended up only needing 3 strands, so I combined the two busted ones for a full strand and sent one back. The ones shipped in the cardboard dividers were fine.

All in all amazing monitor! 2 screens at the same
Amazing! We have been using this now for 2 months and I couldn’t imagine life without this monitor! I have several “pros” and only 2 “cons”.Pros:-Battery life is exceptional compared to other monitors I have had. If it’s fully charged, it can last 7pm-7am not plugged in.-2 screens at the same time! How amazing is that!? I can have both my babies on the screen at the same time. The audio switches every 10 second and it’s really perfect! This is why we bought this monitor, and it works exactly how I wanted it to.-Picture quality is far superior to the other monitors I have had. Both the night and day picture quality is great!-Range is also amazing I have a 2100sq ft house and I never lose range. I even take it outside to do yard work and only lose range if I go to get the mail all the way at the end of my driveway.Cons:-The thing I do NOT like at all is the volume. When playing lullabies at its lowest setting it is way too loud! ! I had to buy a speaker for my kids rooms to play lullabies because you can’t use the built in speaker at all.-It did not come with a wall mount. We had to buy that separately. Not a deal breaker but a little annoying.

Excellent choice
The Mactrem BT 80 tripod meets all needs for essentially all uses. It is lightweight, durable and extremely functional. Having done a lot of research, there is such a range of differences among tripods that it is important to utilize reviews. This tripod met many of the same functions in a tripods that were two-three times as expensive without discernible differences. The versatility is also excellent. I use it primarily outdoors in cold settings and find making adjustments quite easy. I also like how it folds for compactness when hiking.. It is also very strury which helts when using bulky equipment in windy conditions. overall extremely pleased and high recommend
