Hi Fred, It is good you remind people of that baffle. It was not a pleasant experience when I first mounted the 35-85 on the LX, I couldn`t get it back off without a little force. It ever so slightly bent that upper mirror box metal. After that though, all the VS1`s I have with the baffle mount and unmount easily. It must be less than a mm that is needed to file off.
