Not all imaging needs to be perfect to have fun or be artistic with it. Sharpness is overrated. Yes. That is my opinion. I certainly know you have yours.

What did I say that lets you think I missed the photo-poster's point?
I was AGREEING with her/him! And YOU seconded what I said!

Are the Firestick models listed for this adapter currently available or are they discontinued models?

This shot is from a Nikon D7000 with a Minolta lens mounted with an adapter that has a glass element in it. I believe it was a 135mm F/2.8 older Rokkor PF. The adapter was $30..ish.

One person's "image degradation" is another person's "perfectly acceptable" and beautiful!
There's also lens function to consider. I have Canon EF-mount cameras and a bunch of Canon FD-mount lenses. Yes, an adapter with a lens element is not recommended, and removing the element eliminates infinity focus ability.
But I have an FD-mount 500mm mirror lens which, as mirror lenses do, focuses PAST infinity. So it focuses TO infinity quite nicely.
And a macro lens is intended for closeup work, not distance work. So I do macro shooting very nicely with my 50mm macro lens.
You can shoot a lot of subjects without infinity focus!

You should never give up on a peripheral that is "not supported" for Windows 10, without trying Windows 7/8 drivers.
I received a "throwaway" Canon 8800F scanner because the owner assumed it was not usable anymore. I found it works perfectly and beautifully with Canon's Win 7/8 driver and software. Scans paper documents and film, lets me shoot & process film on my collection cameras and have a digital darkroom!

Used to be that wireless was what you used if wired was not available or you NEEDED portability. Such is the way of "progress". Or, saving a few cents on manufacturing cost.

Don't waste your time trying to adapt to an EOS EF mount. You'll be much happier with a cheap, all-metal, no-glass adapter to a mirrorless body. You'll need to determine the mount of the lens and the target camera, but if you have the camera body already, the adapter could be $20 or less.
?? The answer to adapting her lenses to her EOS EF mount is to buy a mirrorless camera?
It must be nice to have unlimited money.

External cd/DVD burners are only $25. Just be sure and use "M" disks. Regular CDs won't last.
Good luck finding an M Disk-compatible burner. They are specialized. An ordinary DVD burner won't do them. And one will cost a lot more than $25.00.
And the future compatibility leaves question about whether it is a good choice.

No, a Skype user cannot communicate with a Zoom user, different software and protocol.
All must be using either Skype or Zoom.

Hi:
I have a canon 5D m4, and a 80D. My Question is to gain more reach with my canon 100-400 11 lens would I be better off using my 5D M4 with a 1.4 111 extender or my 80D.
Thanks
Tom

A crop-sensor camera DOES NOT GIVE MORE REACH!!!!! What it does is CROP in-camera the image coming through the lens.
You can do the cropping all by yourself by using a full-frame camera and cropping when viewing and printing.
The cropped portion of the crop-camera image does have to be enlarged more to fill a given print size than the full-frame image does. This is where comparative megapixel counts comes in. That's a whole other discussion.

A business not being listed/rated by BBB does not mean there is something wrong with the business.
People complain about the used dealers for quoting "too low", or for changing a quote after they receive and examine the item (because it does not match what the seller said about it or it does not meet their standards).
If one does not like a quote one gets, check around with other dealers.
A dealer has the right to change their quote. If you don't like the re-quote, just get your item back.
MPB is a good outfit, as is B&H, KEH, and Adorama, that I am familiar with.

All the FUNCTION comparisons I find between Skype and Zoom are for business/group conferencing uses.
I want to know if there is anything to recommend one over the other for HOME AND FAMILY use, just one computer to another. Or is it just personal preference/bias?
And, can a Skype user and a Zoom user communicate with each other?
I do understand that Skype is free only for Skype-to-Skype use. Not the issue here.
I am not interested in responses regarding Microsoft versus not-Microsoft philosophy.
