Just received an I-26M in the mail, and I can't get it to mount correctly on my Zorki 1. As I start to thread it on, it binds about a third of the way in.

I cleaned the threads on both camera and lens, and checked for damage from mis-alignment or droppage. Quite frankly, I can't see anything physically wrong with this lens. It's almost as if the mount is just a little too big for the camera. Thread pitch appears to match my I-22.

Any ideas? Is this common with this lens/camera combo? I don't have another FSU body to check it out on, and I'd hate to send back such a clean looking example.
