I lost the same piece last summer. It was not the end of picture taking thanks to bright exposure led's and focusing scale in the 35mm lens (with 135mm, the framing would have been a bit harder...) <snip> > Yesterday I went to Leica distributors in Spain, bought the damn piece (75 > $), and they suggested that they would better screw it with a "special > machine for that purpose" (????????).

I did not ask specifically, what it was. The cost was $83 here in Finland. BTW, I also agree with the battery cover - it has it's problems too. Mine is an '86 Wetzlar model. Pasi Ohtonen
