Interesting!
How would you say the parts compare with the Leitax kits? Similar quality, or noticeably different?

First one.
Missing is only a spare ball bearing. And only available as I know for lenses with standard 6 hole mount (no 10 holes, no special for example 6.8/400 etc.)
But have no long-term experiences (but this is true for both types)

Quality feels like the same, sits nice and firm on the camera + lens, no difference in width/thickness. Delivery was usually 1 weeks - 10 days
Chinese adapter : €18,08
Enjoyyourcamera : €49.99
