What happens is that when you screw in the Russar, it clears the meterprism, but the camera shell in the Bessa-L has a flange that catches the back of the lens. You can screw it in and it fits, but when you try to focus at infinity, the lens will only turn until about 3-4 meters and then jam against this flange. The meter prism would be completely covered too, even if the lens cleared the rear flange. Tom A
