Unfortunately, my recent Elmar 50/2.8 (pace Gandy!) doesn't fit because a baffle at the back of the (collapsed) lens prevents the lens-locking bayonets engaging. What's my cheapest option? How early a 50mm bayonet Summicron or Elmar am I going to need? Anything out there? Am in the UK but can do VISA, AMEX or $$$. The kit came with the UOORE adapter, so I can use a Summicron lens head, apparently. Do recent 50mm Summicrons still come apart in this fashion? Many thanks, John
