[LRflex] Re: Leica R to EOS adaptors ... alternative brands.

John,
don't grind off too much!!!!
When I first got my Novoflex adapter I had the same problem. In time, ie 
changing it often from lens to lens, the locking lug wears down.
After a few months it fits perfectly -  of course the little release pin 
will have played havoc with your fingernails  by then.
For the first  month I always carried  a watchmakers' screwdriver to 
help the lug out of the recess in the lens flange.
