They are both identical and I want to use them for the Zeiss 4 18 and the 4.5 21. Screw alignment is perfect, calls up 28 framelines, fit and finish are excellent. I attempted to fit one to the C Biogon 4.5 21. It does not have the internal helical nor an extension lip on the inside surface that are present on the original Zeiss flange. The focus does not operate on the camera and the locating ring for indexing tab is loose. What am I missing here? I have just sent a note to John Milich and am waiting on a response. Has anyone fitted a replacement flange to the 4.5 21? Is it the same as the 2.8 21? I have posted a query on the Leica Users Forum also. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
