Mehrdad, I just heard back from John Milich, who confirmed what I
discovered. His replacement flange does not fit, as the 4.5 21 has a
different design to the other lenses. It has an internal helicoid in the
flange. His replacement flanges do fit the 2.8 21 and the 4 18. Does your
Zeiss supplied flange definitely bring up the 28 frame lines?? You need this
as well as the coding, it seems. Do you have a contact name and address with
Zeiss?

Cheers
Geoff

when i bought mine (21/4.5) it had the wrong mount on it, it was a 35
rather then 28 promised, so ziess germany changed mine. as soon as i
get a chance, i will be sending mine in to JM for coding
