i recently acquired colapsible m39 lens Industar 22 and i've run into a little issue regarding adapter. focusing lever of the lens can't be moved from infinity position when the lens is completely screwed into the adapter. if i want to use the lever for focusing i have to unscrew the lens and move lever towards minimum focus distance and then screw lens back into adapter, but then i can focus only from 1m (minimum focus) to about 20m.
i'm sure owners of this lens have ran into this problem already, and i'd like to know how you resolved the problem. ideas that come to mind is adding a ring plate between the lens and the adapter, or unscrewing the knob on the focus lever (but i would like to keep the lens intact) _________________ my tools:Oly E-M5 + 45mm/1.8 + Oly E-520 + 12-60 + 14-42 + 70-300 + Sigma 105mm + FL-50R + EC20 + SRF-11 ring flash

The solution is very simple. Unscrew the focusing knob, it's attached with a screw. The arm of the lever has enough clearance, it's only the knob that interferes. _________________ Many lenses and some film bodies for sale here: http://forum.mflenses.com/canon-fd-minolta-md-c-mounts-m42-pentax-and-more-t50465.html

yes, that solution came to my mind, but i'll keep it as a final solution if nothing else works. _________________ my tools:Oly E-M5 + 45mm/1.8 + Oly E-520 + 12-60 + 14-42 + 70-300 + Sigma 105mm + FL-50R + EC20 + SRF-11 ring flash

Some adapter seems designed to tackle this problem like the adapter on the link below. They are pretty expensive. So, unscrew the focusing knob may be the cheapest solution.

Not sure what are your reservations regarding this solution. It takes exactly 30 seconds to unscrew the knob and 30 more seconds to screw it back so the lens is restored to original form... _________________ Many lenses and some film bodies for sale here: http://forum.mflenses.com/canon-fd-minolta-md-c-mounts-m42-pentax-and-more-t50465.html

Is it that the plunger can't be pushed to unlock it?
If that's the case, I would mod the adapter to free it up, even if I needed to buy a new adapter for other lenses.
an adapter like this may be what you need.

Mine looks like this and I can see it being an issue.

I have the same lens and had a problem using it on the black adapter shown. I modified my adapter in 5 minutes using a file. I screwed the lens on and marked where the lever would be when locked into position. You can see the results:

Nice work! It is the cheapest to modify the adapter from a one piece LTM adapter. _________________ The best lens is the one you have with you.
