I have checked the Leica screw to bayonet adapter that came with the extender, a Komura item, it does not appear to screw on far enough before the face of the adapter and rear of the extender come into contact, IE the red dot on the adapter and the release on the extender do not line up. It is even further away when using a genuine Leica screw to bayonet adapter. Still searching for a solution.
