I use Tamron Adaptall lenses on my 20D (which I received last week).  I have
an Adaptall 2 to M42 adapter, and then put it in a M42 to EOS adapter -
everything works fine.  There are two kinds of M42 to EOS adapters commonly
available on eBay; a normal one with the M42 screw thread all of the way
through the body of the adapter, and another kind with a rim at the bottom
of the threads which depresses the aperture control pin.  Do a search for
"M42 EOS" on eBay Cameras http://photography.ebay.com/ and you'll often find
many 'normals' and one or two 'rimmed' (no rimmed today).  I have two of
these rimmed adapters from DVD Technik (various eBay user names), also at
http://www.dvdtechcameras.com/other.htm.

BTW the rimmed adapters don't work well with the newer ES-compatible M42
mounts which have an aperture coupling lever (see www.aohc.it/tak00e.htm) as
the coupling lever touches the rim when it is screwed all of the way in -
this happens on my SMC Mac Tak 50/4, and so I also have a 'normal' M42 to
EOS adapter.
