new Elmar f2.8 50mm lens - is it compatible with SOOKY-M?

Does anyone know if the new Elmar-M f2.8 50mm lens is compatible with the SOOKY-M (later known as SOMKY, I think) close up adaptor?

Answers

Yes it is but you have to remove the plastic guard on the optical unit's bayonet. That is the three pronged bayonet that you can see when the lens is collapsed. The plastic guard is just threaded on and unscrews easily.
