I discovered this at the weekend, the prism could have been
inverted (with no consequence?), but placed the wrong way around
not least because there is an angled filler piece that prevents you

I must have mounted it to the Heidosmat lens upside down. I have shot
another film having ensured the red dot is at the top (thank you Siu Fai)
hopefully it will be ok this time.
