Attaching the Supplied Plate If the unfinished surface of the front lens mount is exposed after attaching a lens, use the supplied plate (not available for HDLA1507) to avoid leaving this surface exposed. The supplied plate is not technically necessary, but is suggested for aesthetic purposes. Note Do not use the supplied plate if the lens and lens mount profiles mate precisely (no unfinished surfaces exposed).
