I've tried two aftermarket adapters but the lens does not line up at the 12 o'clock position when mounted with the adapter. This has led to underexposure problems of 1-2 stops! I know this was discussed a while back, but I can't seem to find the answer in my digests. I tried the adapter on a Skopar at my local camera shop, and that combination lined up at 12 o'clock just fine. Could it be that my lens has a flawed mount? I would be grateful for help from others who have had the same problem. I remember something about using sandpaper -- was it on the adapter or the lens? I'm not very mechanically adept, so I hope the solution isn't too drastic. Since I get the digest, could you copy your replies to my personal email? Thanks in advance.
