Btw. Programming the chips is quite easy. You can even configurate the focus +- confirm etc
The programming is akin to transmitting a paragraph of Morse code. If you get one character wrong, then you start the message over from the absolute beginning. No, thank-you.
The adapters are not for everyone, and I agree that they are not mainstream. Yes, you can get widely varying reviews on the same gear from different sites. But, I tend to give more credence to a place llike B&H, where many professionals shop, than a place like Best Buy, which rates an entry level Rebel as perhaps the best camera ever made.
Don’t let me stop you from enjoying your fun. Just don’t make misleading posts about it, because using that type of adapter is not the best thing since they invented beer with bubbles in it. They can, and do, break with heavier lenses.

The only manual lens that I use for general photography is an ultra wide angle 14mm lens, which I can use to dial in the hyperfocal distance. Once I my focus is dialed in, everything beyond a few feet is in razor sharp focus. All I need to do is check every so often that I haven’t bumped the focus ring, throwing the focus off.
I use other manual focus lenses, but only when mounted on a tripod: i.e.; a tilt-shift lens.
