Good deal... that's pretty much what I was planning on doing. On this particular lens, however, it looks like a couple jewler's screws and the offending flange part will come off by itself. If that's the case, it'll be easier than trying to mask the whole thing... won't have to worry about getting dust anywhere bad.Cory,
Myself, and others have performed flange-ectimy's on our lenses with the excessive flanges. It is relatively simple . . . I masked off the glass using electricians tape, and then used a file to file down the offending portion of the flange.
Just be sure that none of the metal filings get onto the glass surfaces, and that none fall into any holes in the lens and you'll be alright.

I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't any other subtle problems. I heard from one guy that some lenses will get stuck on some cameras (autofocus hole?). I couldn't see anything obvious, but I don't want to get it stuck!
Thanks -Cory
