Recently bought one of these adapters to use a few decent SD cards I have and to lessen the chance of bending the sometimes fragile CF pins.
I don't feel it was made clear that to access the SD card it is necessary to also remove the CF Card adapter from the camera.
You would expect it to insert with the label in its usual position as in any CF card, so i was surprised to find on opening it that it actually goes in sideways
Admittedly there is an arrow before the word Delkin,but on the reverse of the packaging and on their website it shows the card sideways exactly as you would insert a card in the camera.

Nowhere on the description does it mention that access to the SD card requires removal of the adapter each time.
Just a warning if you were thinking of one of these adapters and thought the same as me
The retailer (Speedgraphic) has been very good about it and offered a refund, think I will just change it for a decent CF card
Even more so now my wife and daughter have laid claim to the SDHC cards for their compacts
