Best Nikon to EF adapters? No wiggle?

[nickbeef]

I've been using the cheap Fotodiox (about $17) to connect my old AI-S Nikkor to my C100. There was a little wiggle, but it didn't bother me much.

Recently I just got a Redrock Mico follow focus, and the wiggle in the adapter has become a problem, so I'm looking to upgrade. I noticed that Redrock Micro sells their own Nikon to EF adapter, but they screw on, and I'm a little unsure of how well that works. They are still pretty affordable (about $35). I'm also looking at the "Pro" version of the Fotodiox (about $60), which feature a kind of "leaflet" springy design, that is more like what is in the camera mount.

Obviously I'd rather pay $35 over $60, and plus Redrock Micro is a more reliable brand name. But I'm a little unsure on how reliable the "screw" design works. Any one have an opinion on the best adapter for Nikon to EF mount?

I think the Redrock Micro adapters mount normally then you fasten them with set screws. I used a few lenses with them attached (I was AC) a week ago and it seemed secure. I use the Leitax adapters, which you can shim so the lenses hold accurate infinity focus, and they are very secure, too, but more expensive.

So long as you are okay buying one adapter per lens (as you should) and leaving it on semi-permanently, I would go with Leitax or Redrock Micro for these adapters.
