If you are after one for telephoto work, you "may" get away with one of the cheapies. :-)
I must say it always surprises me that people will spend large amounts of money on cameras and lenses but then they buy the cheapest adapter possible and are disappointed when it doesn't measure up.
Personally, I'd be more worried about a cheap adapter breaking and dropping a prize lens onto the concrete below (I picture myself sobbing over my broken Zuiko 24mm shift lens as people walk past, shaking their heads...).
Now, if you'd spent money on one of the expensive adapters and that didn't work, well then you'd have a case for complaing!
Not all of us are cheapskates as you seem to infer.
My purchase of the Chinese adapter was not one motivated by price, it was one made out of ignorance of the different adapters available. I have now purchased a Kindai and it measures up perfectly.
But now that the adapter is a non-issue I can see that my Oly 21mm is not a stellar resolver, as my 17-40 (perhaps it's a good one) easily beats it... even in the corners.
I will see if I can find another lens to test, or perhaps put this one in for a service.... but at some stage I do need stop throwing money at this quest. (not a cheapskate comment, just one of reason as a line has to be drawn somewhere)
