Nikon F Mount Adapter

I bought a cheaper Fotodiox adapter to put Nikon F mount lenses on my 5D and the thing is pretty awful. It's super tight on the camera, and took forever to get off. I felt like I was either going to break my camera, or cut my fingers since the outside of this thing is very sharp. Swapping lenses was nearly impossible for the reasons previously stated.

Does anyone have an adapter they can suggest for the 5D that is VERY GOOD, and will let me swap lenses pretty easy. They're older Nikon F mounts so I can control aperture on the lenses themselves. There's a 70 dollar Fotodiox out there with decent reviews but some 7D guys say they can't use it on their 7D (which I hope to buy one of also), and I'm a little weary of spending that much if I'm going to have the same problem another time...

Suggestions?
 
I decided to go with Nikon lenses for my new 5Dii. I am very happy with them.

I didn't buy an adapter per se ... I bought Leitax lens mounts for each lens. Not the cheapest solution but because they are screwed directly into the lens... they are rock solid. It is exactly like
having an eos mounted lens.

I can't say enough great things about this product. I am very very pleased. Also ... for some reason you ever want to change them back to nikon mount... all you have to do is unscrew the mount and
replace the original screws. It does not damage the original lens.
