How right you are, thanks; When looking at the lens and body when
installing the lens it appeared to pass and perhhaps actually sit on the
plastic button. But when looking at it again and comparing it to my 50f/3.5
mc macro, those screw positions appear the same with the exception of the
screw at 6 oclock on the Adapttall 2.
Thanks again, I am going to take more jewelry photos.
