Hawks Factory M->E mount adapter

[koji]

I am no relation with Hawks factory in Taiwan. I have just got it today, and
checked its ability.

It says some near focus abilities in its eBay note:

But I did my own testing. Thing is looks like this>

With Carl Ziess Biogon 25/2.8 ZM + NEX5 + this adapter, it can focus down to 0.18m. (the lens' MFD is 0.5m)


Just for few example>

CV Nokton 50/1.5 Aspherical ... 0.9 ---> 0.42m

The adapter is well made, everything is snuggly fit. However because of its helicoid
(extends 5mm) its mechanical strength is less than normal rigid M->E adapters.
