The coupling ring is useful to some extent.  Shorter lenses are accomodated
well with this device.  Another limitation is the coupler is narrow and is
not able to accomodate lenses wider than 35mm because of the intrusion of
the rear element.  I have used it for 35, 50 and 90 (Tele-Elmarit) mm
lenses.
