Hi chaps,

The other day, my wife borrowed my 5D for an assignment and - horror of horrors - the adapter holding the lens (Zeiss 28-85) went for a ball of chalk, letting the lens rotate ad nauseum without coming out of the EF bayonet, snapping off the focus-confirm chip against the focus-screen clip...suffice to say, disaster was nanometers away.

Not wanting a repeat of this and having learned my lesson attaching a $20 adapter to an expensive camera...what say ye as to the best and most robust adapter?

I'll wind up snagging a 24-105L, but for the moment...

L

I have used the below seller on e-bay whom is based in the US and is very reputable. I have absolutely no problems with these adapters for the MF lenses in my gear list:

I also purchase a Metal Hood + Cap for each lens from the below reputable seller also based in the states:

Used Fotodiox "cheap" $20 and never had a problem.

They have a "Pro" version for more which is maybe what you want to work with....
