Adorama Kipon 4/3 to micro 4/3 adapter... anyone?

I have the Panasonic DMA-MA1 for my 4/3 Oly 11-22m. It's excellent and allows me to adjust the aperture with the camera. I see you have Contax Zeiss so that may not be something you need right now. I have the kipon for my Nikons which cost me $99 and it has a little play now. I can't say for sure how the 4/3 will be but I'm going to have to replace my Kipon Nikon Mount adapter. That's just my experience.
 
I have/had the EOS Kipon, Fotodiox Nikon and Fotodiox Nikon G adaptors.
The Kipon was loose and bugged the heck out of me.
Both of the Fotodiox adapters are loose as well. I had enough and purchased the Novoflex Nikon MFT/NIK and finally no more loose wobble. Solid! It better be since I paid $300.00 for it!
 
I have an extra brand new Panasonic DMW-MA1 adapter that I just received last week. Please PM if interested.
 
I have used the kipon adapter. The first thing I did was point the camera at an evenly lit wall and turn on the waveform monitor. I slowly stopped the "iris" on the adapter down, and watched that straight line immediately curve. The vignetting is better no matter the focal length. It's worthless.
 
I just bought the Kipon for $175 when it sells at Adorama for $100 so I feel stupid but in any event the Kipon is not very tight but not loose by any means.

It does what is expected in my opinion and mine does not bow a straight line when I shut the iris.

I am thinking about returning it for the Adorama sine it is less money.
