But commercially available adapters is a reasonable indication that some lenses with MFT mount do work to some extent. (But I do agree that it's generally better to get an EF or F mount lens if the intent is to adapt to other mounts.) | |

Fixing mount depth descriptions, thanks to xiota's comment.

Sony E being 18mm means there's 1.25mm for an adapter. // Nikon F mount also has a 44mm throat, so that in itself doesn't necessarily mean there will be vignetting if the lens is adapted to full frame. | |
