I’ve experimented with my 70-200mm with is more tolerant in some respects because it is the f/4 version.

The problem with “nice” lenses is they are heavy and this risks introducing tilt between the lens and sensor. I have yet to find an adapter I’m really happy with.

I’ve heard good things about the Samyang 135mm but never tried one myself.

William Optics has a new tight tolerance copper Canon T ring. I got one for my REdcat 51. Its quite heavy and the fit is very firm. It would minimise or get rid of any flex with your lenses.
