Yes, the aluminum does not feel very good.  But let me be more specific 
about the one I have.  Don't know if others from Germany are the same.  
There is an indent in the face of the adapter showing where to place 
the index of the lens.  The lens and the adapter mate but the lens will 
only turn about 1/16". The tab does not even come close to the lever 
that adjusts the F stop and as a result the lens is always wide open no 
matter where the aperature ring is positioned.

Maybe I'm incapable of understanding the adapter's principles but the 
CameraQuest adapter that I have is easy to use.
