I dont know of a good one for the reflection issues. I'd just by a cheap Fotga or something and flock it myself. The Fotga I have fit nicely.

Using a Novoflex. Never heard of reflection issues outside of the metabones. Loving it. Expensive perhaps but a fraction of what most lenses cost and it's significant for all your lenses! I have Novoflex for all my alt lenses, it's worth the investment IMO. If only just to buy and forget, knowing I don't have to worry about reflections, mounting, build quality, that the mount is flat, etc.

Fd 24mm f2 @ f4 on A7r, Novoflex adaptor.

I bought the ciecio7 adapter on ebay on recommendation from an earlier thread here. The quality is excellent - the adapter is one-piece black-anodized machined aluminium. Fit and finish is perfect.

Fotasy is the way to go IMO. My Fotasy FD-E-mount adapter works just perfect, as well as my M mount and M42 mount adapters from the same brand.

do Fotasy, ciecio7, or novoflex have no reflection issues? Beni's photo seems Novoflex has not.

I concur.

I've been using Ciecio7 adapters for 3 or 4 years, he makes great stuff and the shipping from Poland to U.S. is surprisingly fast. The only other adapters that really stand out are the Yeenon stuff, they make some really useful hard to find items but I'm not sure if they make an FD.

Reflection issues are dependent on the adapter, lens, and the light source. The problem may not always be readily noticeable. Often, it shows up as a loss of contrast (on entire or part of image) . I wasn't convinced until I flocked a couple of my adapters and then retested the lenses in different bright conditions. Some lenses show a great improvement, others not so much. YMMV
