Item arrived two days early, so bonus points for that.
First impression: it seems well built, sturdy and does what it says on the tin. I can now use my Carl Zeiss Planar T 50mm f/2 on both my Leica M3 and Nikon Z6II. So far, so good. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going out to use the adapter.

The adapter is solidly built and arrives in a plastic case that doubles as a great place to store it dust free when not in use.
The adapter is a good fit however it should be noted that even though its a close fit it will not provide weather sealing.
There are 3 mini set screws that can be used to adjust the rotation of the lens to either ensure the aperture ring aligns to the top or to any desired position.
This adapter opens up a world of possibilities for vintage lenses with unique effects and bootsale/ebay finds.
Would recommend this to anyone needing an adapter for a collection of lenses or intrigued by the world of vintage lenses.

Not the most exciting of photographic kit, nonetheless, it either works or it's useless. This fits well, no stiffness no dramas and the lenses adapt (manual only). Works with both full frame and DX lenses, and is easy to use with the focus highlighting features of these mirrored cameras (albeit as a 10MP - Z6 - or 19MP - Z7 - crop in the DX mode). Extended the life of my A mount prime lenses, which, given the current prices of S line lenses, is no bad thing. Slight vignetting on my Sony 50'm 1.8, but nothing major.
