A fellow lugger has kindly examined his lens and = stated that the two sets of screws in the APO Telyt ring and in the = distance scale ring are identical. Screw heads (slots) are visible in = his lens and that they are about one thread into the body of the lens. =20 For the second time now, Leica has examined my lens. The repair person = said today that a new type of screw is being used, that it is recessed = about 2mm (screw theads are clearly visible), and that it does not have = a slot for a flat head screw driver. =20 It will be most appreciated if anyone with this lens could take a look = at the screws in the distance scale ring and indicate the type of screw = used. Are slots for a flat head screw driver visible? Are the screws = recessed about 2mm? When you look in the screw hole, do you see smooth = silver colored metal instead of the standard black screw? Given the cost of the optic, I just want to ensure that my lens is = complete. Any input would be most appreciated.
