Fotga adapters are pretty good for the money, but the Fotga Nikon F - Sony FE/E adapter has lens play due to a poor locking mechanism. And the adapter length is too short, based on using my two Nikon F lenses, both of which focus beyond infinity.
I thought about another non-Fotga adapter, but they were too expensive. But by chance I bought a used Nikon F - Sony FE/E adapter (made by K&F Concept) for a good price.
It is a simple adapter from the "Pro" series.
The adapter has no aperture control (neither does the Fotga adapter). However, the mentioned lenses don't need it and don't provide it.
The Fotga adapter (on the left) and the K&F adapter (on the right):
The most important thing is that the length of the K&F adapter is correct. I checked the Vivitar 85/1.8 lens and now it has the hard stop focusing at infinity. This means that the KIWIFOTOS LMA-NK_NX adapter (for Samsung NX) was too long and the Fotga adapter (for Sony FE/E) was too short (as I suspected).
Meanwhile, the Mitakon [Zhongyi] Creator 85/2 still focuses beyond infinity, apparently the lens is not properly adjusted at the factory. I have tried to find a way to adjust the focus myself, but have not yet found it.
