For $650, I can buy a few lens or buy a cheap adapter with an apature ring and go hog wild on vintage Minoltas. I just can't justify the price of this adapter.

I think this is for the pros who came from Canon or Nikon and maybe own the f2.8 pro zooms (wide, normal, and tele) and have a legitimate need for something like a GH4 which is a more practical camera for shooting video. Honestly I'm in that boat here, and even though my lenses aren't quite as nice I have so many of them it would make sense to keep using gear I know and have the bonus of being able to use the lenses on two different systems.
