I think the lens mount method is smart and I did something similar with my DIY adapter. There are all kinds of legitimate well manufactured mounts out there that were made by Canon, Minolta, Pentax, Nikon and whoever else. Unfortunately adapter makers seem to prefer to use their own or poorly made asian knock offs.

This has never made sense to me. The Canon FD mounts available from DOF adapter makers almost always seem to really suck but you can get a REAL FD mount for cheap on ebay. There are all kinds of old cameras, 2x teleconverters and Vivitar macro tubes with high quality, extremely precisely made FD mounts available all the time, yet adapter makers cheap out with shoddy knock offs with terrible specs leaving lenses that wiggle or don't lock on. This guy has made the right decision, IMO, by using a mount that's actually well made.
