That table plus a Sharpie and it's done quick and for free.  At least
for my Zeiss ZM lenses it's been a great solution.  It does take a
little while to figure out a workflow to get them right.  I put little
marks on the M9 mount where the read windows are.  They can then be
put on the lens mount and make alignment relatively easy.  (Alcohol
cleans off Sharpie marks.)
