Hey, all.
I recently got my RJ adapter for my Canon FD lenses, and I'm having issues with old FD/FL mounts (the ones with the rotating locking ring). On most of them I can only turn the locking ring half-way, which means I don't get to use the full aperture range of the lens. It gets really tight as I twist the ring. Adapter seems to work fine on the nFD lenses that mount by just twisting the entire lens. Anyone else had similar issues?
RJ offered to look at it if I return it, but I'm hoping there may be a simple fix I can do myself to avoid the many weeks it takes for the adapter to travel back and forth to China.
Also, my adapter doesn't have the green alignment dot on the outer ring, whereas I've seen some others in reviews that come with it. Are there different versions of the adapter floating out there?
