The screws holding the tripod mount were too short, and this was from mounts purchased from Leica USA. They said that the 10mm long screws were all that Solms was sending. I solved the problem by extending the countersinking by about 1.5mm. It allows the screw to engage all the threads of the outer barrel, yet does not extend so far as to jam the inner barrel. Two- I have a question about the 39M to M bayonet ring marked 28-50; does this mean that it will only allow those lenses 28mm to 50mm to focus, or does it mean that the viewfinder is only activated with those lenses? If I use an M-3 with the PV lever, can I use, say an 85mm lens, and still focus properly? Thanks for your help, whoever! dwpost@msn.com " I can't stand intolerant people...."
