any preferences for FD adapters?

I'm about to jump into getting some FD lenses. Just curious if anyone has preferences or recommendations for adapters. I've read frequent mention here of the ciecio7 and jinfinance (RJ Camera?) on eBay. Any difference between them? And when you search eBay now, it seems like there are a bunch of new sellers. Anything to look out for when choosing an adapter?

many thanks
 
I dont know the one from jinfinance, but ciecio7's is just great. You might also consider these new adapters from ebay, the cheapest cost around 40$, I dont know anything about the quality though.
 
What I like about the ciecio7 is how simple it's made - just two CNC'd aluminium parts, no pins, plates or screws that can come loose.
 
Be careful, there is one FD adapter that is made of plastic - sold in Hong Kong - but the ebay seller steered me to a metal one.
 
Thanks all... I also found a comparison of both the RJ Camera (jinfinance) and Ciecio7 adapters here. Seems you can't go wrong with both.

Martti, do you find it easy enough to change lenses pretty quickly with the Ciecio7?
 
Takes me about 30 seconds to remove the one on the camera and put the next one in place. Including getting off and on the end lens caps. Basically just like on a Canon AE-1 :)
