I've been longing to post this somewhere (I hope you don't mind me putting it in your thread Kressouille?)
Other adapters can have problems too! Here, with a PB - NEX adapter and Praktica CZJ 135/3.5 MC, it wasn't loose screws that were the problem, but a combination of too deeply recessed screws that the sprung electrical contacts on the lens passed over, except they didn't! As one of the contact pins became a locking pin, in the screw hole recess. After a couple of days (on and off) trying everything I could think of, there was no other way to remove than this! I never realised before how thick the body of an adapter can be! Thankfully the only damage to the lens were a few scratches to the lens mount. I taped up everywhere that filings might get in. None did. Also the seller did refund me.
