How much play should the adapter have?

The lens mounts tight to the adapter but the adapter has some play/wiggle/sloppiness. The play is more that the the M lens attached to the body.

thanks

My China made adapter is the same way. Tight on the lens with very little wiggle to the body.
Most of my Canon lenses wiggle on my Canon bodies. So, I don't think it should be an issue.
At least, not the slight wiggle mine has.

On my EOS M, the 22mm lens mounts snugly to the body with no wiggle.

I bought the Fotodiox adapter with AF - all my lenses mount snugly to the adapter with no wiggle. The adapter mounted onto the EOS M body with wiggle.

I returned the adapter.

In another thread, others have claimed that the Canon adapter and the Rainbow Imaging adapter exhibit no wiggle at all.

How much play? It should be noted that the EF mount is not meant to be absolutely rock-solid (unlike the Arri PL mount, for example). Some wiggle/play is considered normal by Canon -
