I expected that the DOF scale would have lined up perfectly with the little dimple on the adapter, rather than being off by 25 degrees or so. Or is this why the damn thing won't focus to infinity ? Someone must have though to cut the treads on the adapter so that when the lens is perfectly seated, the "top" of the lens (DOF scale) coinsides with the dimple on the adapter, and when mounted on the body - vola ! - everything lines up just like a M mount lens. Right ? Or is this poor CCCP workmanship ? What are the Voigtlander lenses like ?? Thanks William
