The lens with 17-31mm helicoid sits at its infinity focus position without extending
the helicoid and the lens' F-stop marker at the top, in order to do so I inserted
the C/Y mount metal (from a broken Yashica FR II, a gift) between the helicoid and
E-mount ring(CMHT). With this helicoid, its MFD is 0.27m on E-mount cameras.
E-mount ring(CMHT): search for a thin M42->E ring/converter at eBay, $3~20.
