If you are thinking of buying a thin base Helios (M39 lenses too) you should factor this problem in. An alternative might be to use a very thin washer/shim with the infinity adapter. This would permit the lens to tighten against the camera body and allow closer to infinity focus. But I couldn't find one with the required diameter.
