I have a 35mm Summaron which was made for M3 and the goddle is missing.
When I use it on M4, the 35mm frame won't come out. I can pull the preview
lever to engage the 35mm lines but that's extra work. I called Leica
and was told they don't modify the lens. I know the only thing I have
to do is to file off about 1/16" on one of the mounting leg. Does anyone
know if a repair shop can do the job without getting metal powder into
the lens barrow?
