Hi Mike,
I like your photos, though, I agree, a few seem over-sharpened.
I had a Fotodiox two-piece adapter loosen up. They may all be made by a
common supplier. I applied SuperGlue to the two mating surfaces before I
reassembled it and tightened the small screws. I have had no more signs of
loosening, though I do adhere to the advice of Fotodiox to limit the weight
of attached lenses to no more than two pounds.
