Thanks, Piers.  I didn't look at any detail, only that he has a 99% 
positive rating.  I've emailed them and haven't received a response yet 
but it's only been a day.  We'll see what happens.  I'm still rather 
astounded at how well it seems to be made yet doesn't come anywhere near 
a fit with respect to flange thickness.  It's also not labeled as to 
mount other than on the box.  I'm wondering if it could possibly be for 
a different camera/lens mount combo.  I'll have to check it over more 
thoroughly to dispel that notion.  If I'm only out 18 bucks it was a 
cheap lesson.
