I use the cheap $7 ones, and the trick with those is to take off the screw a lever on the adapter, screw the adapter in the lens itself and then just treat the lens like a PK one (but it does not "click" into place. Have had no issue with those getting stuck at all.

Well, I am not seeking a particular one off the web, but I have someone with a nice collection (not selling) and I wonder if I could borrow it to do some astro.
