The lens includes one tiny protruding screw in the space where the silver ring would logically fit (from what Bob wrote above, it would seem that I should not be using the silver ring, though - right?). Now, the problem with the protruding screw is that it seems to be keeping some distance between the lens and the board, perhaps to allow the aperture lever to move freely. If I tighten the retaining ring just enough for the extended levers to move freely, then the extended (black) lever that closes/opens the shutter keeps slipping out of its place on the lens. If, on the other hand, I tighten the retaining ring very firmly, I can't operate the levers. I even tried to remove that little screw from the lens but then I could not move the aperture lever at all, once I tightened the retaining ring. So, what am I doing wrong? Is the trick just to tighten the retaining ring enough but not too much? I am even considering using a bit of a thin double sided sticky tape just to keep that lever in place, but I don't think that is the way Linhof intended.
