As proverb says, "The devil finds work for idle hand to do".
Minolta Rokkor-PG 45mm/1.8 lens on SONY E-mount has made progress, rotating helicoid stopper was applied inside for safety. Just setting 1.7mm diameter small screw on helicoid inner barrel and gluing was enough. Though the helicoid is seldom to expanded utmost in ordinary use, this countermeasure for safety is effective for actual outside use. Utilizing it's original helicoid construction with 10mm  lens element extension  permits 15 cm close up shooting.
