I've never changed an R lensmount, but I've done several Nikons and Leica M's
and the mounts fit flush with the body casings with and the screws tighten
into their threads until they are tight, just like rear lensmounts. There
aren't any provisions for "calibration". I checked with Fargo Enterprises
and they didn't seem to know what a "lens mount calibration tool" was.
Perhaps Leica R cameras are different.
