Not put off by all the negative comments about mny last movie ;-)  I 
made another this time I at least knew that TV mode on the dial didn't 
mean video. The reason for this one was to show the ebay seller how much 
play there is in the adapter

Yes I know its rubbish but I wanted to get  it done quickly and I STILL 
have not had time to really play with the new DLSR.

anyway this is the reply I got back, is this acceptable do you think

Thank you for writing to us about the issue you encountered.
Actually it is not a problem with the adapter because there are three
fitting "lips" on the inner side of the adapter you can enlarge them to
tighten the lens insertion and remove the play. It is the same design for
all EOS adapters you can get from the market. Manual focus lenses (e.g.
Olympus Zuiko) has slightly different mount bayonet thicknesses so you can
adjust for fit by this part. Thank you for your enquiry.

Is this correct, should I just shove a screwdriver in the slots and twist?

BTW a very nice package arrived from John Hermanson today containing a 500/8 
and 80/4 - I was very happy to see it as it had gone missing for a couple of 
months in the postal system ether.
