    I just bought one from Ebay. It costs me only $12. I believe it was made in China. I was so excited to receive it, and eager to try it on my Canon 40D camera with my Nikon AF-S 300mm ED IF lens. It worked poorly — the image turned out blurred. I was a bit disappointed. I blamed on the poor design. But when I tried to remove the lens from the camera, the adapter and the lens got stuck firmly together. I looked at the adapter and the lens, praying that I could separate the two pieces by hand with all my might, I failed. I started to panic. I said to myself “what a waste (swearing a bit inevitably) — a cheap $12 third party adapter permanently attaches to a $1000+ beautiful Nikon lens!!!”. Next, I used a small screw driver to press on a little black hook that came with the adapter. Fortunately, I managed to separate the adapter from the lens. This lesson teaches me never use a third party product on any camera again. I literally wrote that on the box containing the adapter, fearing that another victim may be trapped. Night mare…I am still sweating…

    Feels well made, quality of the machining looks good. It locks firmly to my Nikon lens (100mm F2.8 E AIS), and attaches well to the Canon body (20D). There is a small amount of rotational play in the connection to the body, but I only notice it when I am looking for it.

    As I expected from reading reviews in different places, it is a little thinner than it should be, so it allows the lens to focus a little bit past infinity, but I do not consider it a serious problem.

    I was interested in purchasing some older manual focus lenses (specifically the 100mm) because they were significantly cheaper than a modern AF lens with optics of similar quality. For this purpose, the adapter is great. I have read that you can get similar adapters on Ebay for a little less money, but I would much rather stick with the reputation of Amazon and Fotodiox for a few bucks.

    If you are in need of an adapter because you cannot get the lens you want in an EOS mount, but you would be spending $500+ on a lens, you might consider a higher quality adapter. For example, my brother has a 5D and several L lenses, and recently bought an anamorphic lens for work in film school. It came with the Fotodiox F to EOS adapter on it, but he will be upgrading to a higher quality adapter, as saving $50-100 on an adapter is not worth even a small sacrifice in quality for what he does.

    It did seem too good to be true. Novoflex wants $270 for its adapter. Fotodiox has a “Pro” version ($90) which I’ve just ordered, thanks to Amazon’s returns policy. The problem is the loose fit: tight on the Canon body but loose on all my Nikon lenses. It doesn’t bother other users but it’s just not acceptable for precision work on a fixed mount or hand-held.

    The adapter fit exactly right and allowed the use of all my Nikon F-2A lenses on the Canon Digital. Saved me a fortune in new lenses at an unbelievably cheap price.

    Be careful, it may tend to get stuck if you try it on older Nikon lenses.
