I'd be really pushing it with one of my lenses I didn't list. I have an 85mm f/1.5 Enna Lithagon LTM. Way back I was given this lens and it wasn't focusing correctly, so I took it apart and adjusted it , but that took THREE HOURS of trial and error to get the focusing helixes re-synchronized with the sliding guides. I would try different starting points for mating the threads, but as the lens went back together, the guides wouldn't line up, and I'd have to try again by moving over one thread. After three hours of frustration, I was just about to give up when everything came together and worked. Since then it has focused perfectly on my M3 at f/1.5.
