I glad to buy cheap Chinese ones, they are good ones usually, but this KIEV adapter is expensive from KIPON 100-200 UKP.

Seems a very well made adapter.
Is it possible to made one with a L39 mount? Moreover, can this adapter adjuster for Nikon RF lens?

I guess this is where the adapters I've seen on ebay come from. I actually have a Kiev 4 myself that I could disassemble if I knew how to make an adapter that will make the Jupiter 8M on it to work on m4/3.
So can anyone explain what is the added functionality over a cheap ebay adapter like this one?:

There is no more added functionality, they all do the same thing. I guess a scratch made one will be expensive whereas a Kiev conversion would be cheaper. I made one and posted photos on this site but they have gone now.
The whole focusing mechanism fits inside a M39 adapter and the FFD almost matches so its quite an easy job.
I had no clue, but managed to remove the whole lens mount and focusing mechanism from a broken kiev in about 10 minutes, tried it on my M39 adapter and found it worked. Really the biggest job was to remove the excess metalwork with a hacksaw and files.
The whole operaton took a couple of hours, most of the time was making it look pretty.
I dropped it recently and the spring got bent when it hit the floor - its quite front-heavy now it doesnt work too good. I'm on the lookout for a new lens retaining spring!

The lens mount is on a large squarish metal panel. Really you just have to cut it off round the lens mount and finish it off. Perhaps I'll get a broken Kiev and do it again.

yes, but besides that panel, do you have to remove metal from the rear of the mount to fit into an adapter or leave it as it is?

No, just trim off the square metal panel (which is very soft brass and cuts very easily).
