Just an alert/warning to anyone buying these -
I purchased TWO of the Fotodiox B60-67 filter adapters recently ($7.95 each), for the obvious reason of adapting 67mm filter threads (and larger) to my two CF lenses on my X1D. My plan was to keep one permanently on each lens, along with a snap-on 67mm lens cap. I have lens hoods, including an old Hasselblad bellows hood that are adapted to 67mm threads, that I can use. Also 67mm or 77mm polarizers , plus a 10-stop ND filter.

However, both of these adapters fit extremely loose, not snugging up to the bayonet mount at all. If I pick up the camera at any angle, they actually twist, and have the potential to fall off easily.
I would have thought that maybe one adapter was just a glitch, but since both fit the same way, it's got to be the way they're made. I would avoid this brand if you need one of these adapters, even though they are much cheaper than other brands.
