Does anyone know if there's 'budget price' Kiev/Contax Rf to M4/3 adapter which has lets the 85 and 135mm lenses LOCK in place?

I just bought a Jupiter 9 in Kiev fitting which came with a M4/3 adapter that has no means of locating and holding the lens other than by friction. I think I recall seeing eBay listings for Nikon S to M4/3 adapters (same mount) that stressed they had a 'stopping screw' but I couldn't find one when I looked earlier.

If you cannot find one for sell, you might consider make one from a broken Kiev RF body.

Thanks for that suggestion Calvin, and for the pictures of how to do it or, in my case, how to get someone else to do it for me! In my hands a screwdriver becomes a weapon of mass destruction Very Happy
