There's a small difference between countries and companies, though, but you're right, kencameron1949. Pointing with my hand's digit finger at someone means another 3 fingers are pointing towards myself.
An adapter doesn't need to explode to harm a camera, and eben the good ones are not improving the mechanical fit of camera and lens on both ends. Adapters are always at best the second best choice. So my original post remains vaild - I'm not buying Chinese stuff from eBay sellers.

Agreed. They certainly aren't a magic bullet for quality. But they have given me a lot of pleasure using old lenses on mirrorless cameras.
And while I entirely respect your personal choices about where to buy and not to buy, I also stand by my original post - that you are paying a price for those choices, in depriving yourself of (some) good products at good prices. I imagine you understand that, and are comfortable with it.

I don't mind who the developer is - commlite is a company in Shenzhen. And somebody has to make the adapter after it was developed. Probably not the "fellow photo hobbyist after work"?
