The rear of the optical unit has the three small mounting tabs just like the old collapsible lenses but they have added a plastic protector which prevents it from mounting in the accessories you mentioned below. The good news, curtsey of Leica-User Noel Chartuck (sp?), is that you can gently pry the plastic protector off and then it will work just fine. As long as you are careful, you will not damage the plastic protector. This lens has been discontinued as I believe it was a slow seller. Too bad.
