Yes, I did get that. But, I said, Zenitar has a similar protrusion, and
I also have one other lens with it (4/24 Ennalyt). No problems with the
mirror on, namely, K1000, ME-Super, and MZ-10. If MIR-47 has a longer
protrusion, that, of course, would be a problem... but, I'll see. At
least K1000 should be OK...
I didn't order 'normal' M42 version, but one specifically adapted for PK
mount, so I presume they did something about the problem.
I know about the mirror problem, although it didn't occur to me. A
colleague almost broke one of his Canons that way, with M42 lens and
adapter :(
