In keeping with the advice in the 1987 Leica Handbook, I set the lens at infinity and everything slid into place nicely. Then, at the risk of a repair bill, I changed the lens focus setting and noticed that while the lens did lock I felt a tad of resistance as if the focus cam was hitting something. So now I wonder whether those who could not mount their Summicron eyes were in fact not mounting the lens itself properly.
