Double up adapters?

Just got my AF100 yesterday and have playing around with it. I got the Kipon adapter for my EOS lenses and everything is working great so far. My question is that I am looking to borrow a couple Nikon lenses from my brother. I have a Nikon to EOS adapter so I know that I can get the Nikons on the camera but will "double up of adapters" affect anything?
 
My only concern would be the added amount of play in this sandwich. Might want to just get a Nikon-m43 adapter.

+1... that would be your best bet... Cheap adapters are bad enough, doubling up on them is just asking for 2x the little BS issues to deal with.
 
I would have thought doubling the adapters would really throw the flange distance out to hell and back.
 
Try it out, but do a test. Lots of testing before going out and shooting something that matters. I don't think doubling up adapters would be a good thing but you never know. If its a quick fix then why not. Let us know how it works.
In the end you will probably want to purchase a good quality adapter for those Nikon lenses. I have tried many cheap ones and they work but feel sloppy/loose, I went for a Novoflex and love it. You will find that the camera burns a nice whole in your wallet fast.
 
Yeah that would be more stress on the camera's mount and might result in some focus/exposure issues. Adapters are indeed the cheapest part of the equation.
