Hi Charles,
I use Stephen Gandy adapters http://www.cameraquest.com/  for his location.

I don't re-call the price but I have 3 adapters and they stay on the 3 most 
used lenses and when I change a lens one comes off the other goes on. Sure 
much easier than fiddling about switching adapters.

I mean it's bad enough not having 3 20D bodies with the lenses already on so 
I can drop one camera and go with the other as the scene requires a quick 
change.

I don't have any experience with the other adapters but with Stephen's I 
have no complaint what so ever.

ted.
