I don't think it's that easy. While you can reverse the mount you risk
minor damage. there is a small detent in the ring that drops into a slot
on the lens. This prevents the lens from slipping out when the knob is
loosened. When you reverse the ring the detent may scratch the lens
since it no longer lines up with the slot. Knob goes on the left. And I
think this mount also fits the telescoping extension tube.
