Some years ago I had a Minolta 250mm mirror lens. It was incredibly cheap due to
the low value of the Yen at that time. I had Marty Forscher put a Leica R flange on it.
After a time I sold it. I believe in the past year or two seeing people wanting $1000.00
for that lens with that adaption. Yikes!.
In good condition they are going for more than $1300 with original mount.

I have a large collection of vintage gear. So far I've only gotten a couple adapters to use a few lenses on mirrorless, but I know adapters are available for more of what I have:
Canon EF***
Canon FD/FL
Konica K/AR*
Leica L39 Screwmount*
Minolta MD
Nikon F
Olympus OM
Pentax M42 Screwmount
Pentax PK Bayonet
Tamron Adaptall***
T-mount*
*** Adapters I have now.
* Adapters I'm most likely to buy in the future.
There are many more available, that I don't have need for (B&H lists 100 adapters for my mirrorless).

I am mainly a DSLR user , but I do have an Olympus M4/3 mirrorless, I use adapter to use an old Olympus H. Zuiko 42mm F1.2 that was from the Olympus Pen-F half film-frame SLR camera, I also I have a Switar C-mount 16mm F1.8 F1.8 video lens for my M4/3.
Fujinon 200mm M42 mount with helecoid extension tubes for macro/micro work on my Fuji X System. The Fuji EBC lenses ALL have the same color rendition up to today. I don't have to compensate for the color rendition of various other lens brands.
It looks unweildy but is quite light and gets VERY close.

Pretty much any lens I can adapt to a Sony mirrorless body.

which FD's lenses do you recommend?

It's getting harder to find FD lenses. Honestly, all the ones I found and purchased from ebay, KEH, B&H and MPB have all disappeared. I was buying say around 2010-2013 and when I search for the same lenses today, there are mostly none for sale in N America and even hardly any in Japan either.
I'm really enjoying my FD 200mm f/4 macro, something I still see available and I use a lot.
I seem to have lucked into some 'collector items' in 24L, 50L and 85L models that mostly aren't listed for sale anymore.
Some other great lenses I've used but since sold: 35mm f/2, 100mm f/2, and 135mm f/2. These are all amazingly sharp and evident in the image results. The next step down for the f/2.8 versions are great choices at more modest prices still, when you can find them at any of the 24 to 135mm focal lengths.

Here's my favorite: Dallmeyer Super Six Anastigmat 8 inch f2.0. Has a 9 inch image circle but would be difficult to mount on a view camera because it weighs 7.5 pounds. Plus a sample shot with it.

None right now, but I sure wish I had my old Pentax 28mm lens back.
Pentax M 28mm F3.5 +Tilt adapter. Nikon E 50mm + Tilt adapter. Olympus 50mm F3.5 macro. Tamron 500mm Mirror lens.

I have a good collection of Asahi Pentax Takumars. And a collection of Minolta Rokkors. Also some Vivitars Macros (made by Komine).
I enjoy these legacy lenses a lot!
