Hi LUGers,

I have a question I should probably direct to Leica USA but they're 
closed for the weekend so I figured I'd try it out here.  I was twisting 
off a stuck filter on my lens today... after I finally got it off, I 
noticed that the engraved front part of the lens (bearing "E46 37488xx 
LEICA SUMMILUX-M 1:1.4/35 ASPH.") had shifted approximately 30 degrees 
in the direction of twist.  With the filter off, I tried to see if I 
could twist it back, or even twist it more, but it won't budge now.

I'm wondering if it's possible that I damaged the lens.  I don't think 
it's likely but I thought I'd ask, just in case.  Anyone ever had this 
happen?

Thanks!
