That\'s common with a lot of the middle of the road adapters - there is a thin wire like catch that can be adjusted for more pressure - it usually doesn\'t do much - the best way I have found is to use aluminum tape - can be found at a Home Depot - etc. - it is used to seal aluminum faced insulating panels. Very, very thin with very strong adhesive.
Take the adapter and adhere the tape to the face - use a new sharp razor and trim the excess to the adapter high ridge-like area - it increases the pressure between the lens mount \"hooks\" and the adapter - there won\'t be any \"play\" between them. On the attached link - the only area needing tape is the cooper colored area that touches the lens.
The reason you are not getting confirmation at f8 is there is not enough light coming in - except in very bright conditions - spotty AF confirm at smaller than f5.6 is normal.
