Fair enough, but this is probably also an issue using those OM Zuikos on a 
full-frame mirrorless, no?

I have done that with two OM Zuikos, the 90/2, and the 21/2.

I recommend NOT grinding it off.

That's the route I took with the 90/2. It took an hour, carefully taping 
everything off to keep metal filings out, slowly doing a stroke at a time with 
the file.

I was less patient with the 21/2, and grabbed that sucker with fine-tip 
electronic pliers, and wound it up like a sardine lid! It was done in ten 
seconds, with no metal filings, and with a better "look" to the result.
