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?
