Just to add my two penneth worth, I tried several of the cheaper ones 
before getting a japanese made elefoto, which (I assume the cameraquest 
one is too) is head and shoulders above the others, I think most people 
don't have problems with the cheaper adapters because they use light OM 
lenses, not all my OM'0s are light and small. Yes they should click and 
lock.

I think the focus issues are due to the adapters themselves, all  of my 
cheapo adapters have significant play in them, which I am sure affected 
focus in a random nature because I have much less of a problem with the 
elefoto adapter. You can tighten the spring clips but on the cheapo ones 
they loosen again quite quickly.

Finally if you are getting a 5D2 forget the AF confirmation and buy the 
EG-S screen which makes focussing much easier, however the olympus 
adapters are 10 times better than the OM-EOS ones and unless you want a 
full frame camera I would buy into the  m.4/3 camera system, the 90/2 
works brilliantly on the 4/3rds cameras and sooner or later you will get 
tired of the manual focussing and want AF.
