Well, back in early february I've ordered an Exakta Sony adapter, in stock . After a week of payment made, i asked seller if everything is ok and what's the tracking number, since then I've only received lies, next week we'll ship, now is Chinese New Year's, now it's not in stock, after 8 weeks I've asked for my money back,with no r esults. Finally, had to ask PayPal to return my money, i like k&f adapters ive5 got, it was the first time i was buying from kentfaith.com , and definitely my last one. Customer service answering once a week, every time another lie. Too bad, i wondered many times if there's the seller behing that page,or there's someone else in the middle for the transactions.

In the recent past I've had an item from China arrive before an item within the UK ordered on the same day. But this year, things seem slow. I'm finding the 4-8 week delivery windows they promise are actually accurate. Previously items always seemed to arrive before this. In the UK, I'm wondering if the Postal Service has finally cottoned on that there is money to be made in collecting any dues. I had one item recently that was over the limit, it's value was only £38 but I was hit with a bill for £11.50 (£3 VAT I think, but importantly £8.50 admin charge from the Post Office for collecting the £3. Ouch!

Most of my adapters are chinese, and are just as good in quality as Novoflex which is nice too. The bad thing is when a seller is starting to lie a customer about an order, obviously i would expect 4-8 weeks delays, taking into account that in that time the item has been shipped. Worse is lying the customer and waisting he's time. That's not fair at all. Finally, I've bought another cheaper adapter from another member, but definitely , wouldn't buy neither recommend kentfaith.com as a seller, and this hasn't to do where do i live, as in the 8 weeks period ,the seller never provided a tracking number ,neither shipped the item.

"The bad thing is when a seller is starting to lie a customer about an order..."


Agreed. It's the worst.

Yes, they are mostly good quality, but not always. I've actually had excellent luck with photo accessories, but the tools are by and large Harbor Freight quality, and a few fishing lures I tried very ridiculously poorly done. But I was talking not so much about hte quality as about shipping. My attitude when ordering from Ali is "it'll get here eventually". 3-5 weeks seems to be the norm, but I've had orders take as long as two months to get here. I think 11 weeks was the longest.

Around 3 months ago I ordered the very same adapter from the very same source, because this was the only source I could find at that time. I had no issues with them. Shipping took around 3 weeks, which I expected. And the tracking provided was very detailed.

K&F Concept certainly seem to have picked up their pace and are running better now, going by my experiences of them.
I recently had to buy several lens adapters to suit the recently acquired Sony E-mount and they all shipped promptly and got here quickly.
Only slight glitch, was that as new site customer I was offered a 10% discount, the codes for which wouldn't work, twice,
but customer service sorted that out with a simple refund.
I'm very happy with the quality of the adapters. The one that operates Canon AF lenses actually works, which is a nice bonus.
