Beyond simply adapting the lens, this adapter also incorporates a tilting design to adjust focus and correct small perspective distortions. The 8° of tilt can be applied using a dedicated ring at the base of the adapter.

Dot Line DL-0896 Reviews
adapter cheaply made
As the other review mentioned, the sticker comes off. This is where trouble starts. The pin that keeps the adapter from spinning 360 also easily broke off. Even when this adapter was new the design was not really a joy to work with. The tilt function has no lock, so sometimes it unintentionally tilts. Too much lens creep, poorly designed. Overall can't recommend.
Good for what it does..
I'm a long time Canon user that decided to move to Sony and recently purchased the A7II with the promise that I could still use my Canon lenses via adapters. I chose this particular adapter obviously for it's ability to manipulate perspective. If you are shopping for this kind of adapter then you already know what it does so I won't go into that. So on the adapter itself.. -This adapter is solidly constructed, compact enough yet has a good weighted feel in the hand. The tilt ring moved smoothly with no clicks so you can set it anywhere on the scale that you want. -It mounted securely to my A7II, however there was no confirming click as there usually is when attaching an adapter or locking a lens into place which made me feel a little nervous. Maybe it was just my copy? It did stay on the camera for the brief time that I tried it. -The numbered scale on the side of the mount is a sticker, it is not engraved into the lens and it wasn't securely fixed, the ends of it were slightly curling away from the adapter body. *If you look, you can see the sticker in the product photo. This is kinda cheap given the price but the scale is useless anyway so I would just remove the sticker and enjoy the unblemished finish of the adapter. -There are no electronics to this adapter as it says in the description, so you will have to set your aperture as well as manually focus your lens, in addition to setting your lens focal length in camera(35mm, 50mm, etc..). Ultimately I didn't like fiddling with it all so much. This is a good product if you judge it only on what it does. I did however return it and bought a non-tilting Fotodiox here that reads aperture and focal length instead. When I find a tilt adapter with electronic communication I will pounce on it
