Hoppy, it might not. I have two copies of the Tele-Elmar and one fits 
directly into the 16464 (or OTZFO) as its supposed to but the other 
doesn't, as it has its screw threads (larger diameter) closer to the 
front of the lens. There are odd items out there which don't fit as 
they are supposed to. This Elmar might be one of them.

I don't have the items in front of me at the moment, so I can't 
measure thread sizes or tell you how this might fit.

Your answer is the correct one and it should work, but there are 
certainly variations.
