Sakar 52mm Lens Barrel Adapter For Canon PowerShot A570, A590 Review

The price on this adapter as compared to the genuine Canon adapter is what attracted me to this product. Even if this adapter were FREE it wouldn't be worth paying the shipping to own it. It is so poorly made that lenses will not engage the threads for more than a single turn, or two at best, before seizing. The Canon adapter I own works flawlessly. Don't try to save money buying this product just buy the Canon in the first place and you'll be miles ahead.

I have a few lenses from my film kit that I wanted to use with my Pentax K20D, so I picked up this adapter.
Tried it on my Sigma zoom lens, and with a little effort managed to get it working. I detached the lens, which left the adapter still attached to the camera body - not ideal, but the torque applied whilst turning the lens overcame the threaded lens-adapter coupling rather than the adapter-camera coupling. The adapter was pretty tight but I eventually managed to remove it with the releasing tool (the flat object seen in the item picture).
I put the adapter on one of my prime lenses hand-tight, but for some reason the adapter would no longer attach to the camera. I have examined in every-which way to figure out why - even removing the spring clip, but it won't attach. What's worse is that the adapter is now stuck to my prime lens - making it useless! I have tried penetrating oil, locking it in a vice etc. but nothing has worked. The ring has very little purchase on it when you want to remove it by hand.
Disappointing, and I put it down to poor engineering rather than my ineptitude.
