It locked itself in a slightly tilted position. That never effected the performane of the lens, but it didn´t look nice cosmeticly since the Heliar lens shade is sort of rectangular. I will probably use the Japanese adapter with my future Skopar since it has a round lens shade. For my Heliar I bought an original but used Leica M-adapter. And that one aligns the Heliar perfectly with all my Leica M bodies. Claes
