Thanks for the explanation Hans....good job that I did not throw it away. I
bought it without instructions..
It is just about the same size as my 50/3.5 Macro, so I will probably keep using

: nice case. But I have never managed to get it to focus at infinity, either
with

: Let me know if yours works OK, and tell me the trick.....
