Have you mounted it on the camera to make sure? If you're
comparing it to a K lens, they tend to have a slot rather than a hole.
That slot is typically longer than it needs to be.
I've done this on about a half-dozen lenses. First thing I do
with my M42/K adapters is remove the damn clippy thing. If you can't
drill the hole, you just have to be careful to not dismount the bayonet
while focussing... :)
