If not I'd have the camera and lens in front of a service centre and let them deterimine what your situation is. And for sure, I'd not put the lens on the M3 again until it's checked out. To say the least you sure will be "breathless" if you drop the Nocti and crack up the glass ware. I know couple of times on my M6's I have been careless in putting the Noctilux on the body and not turned it to complete the "click" as the locking flange connects. And then experienced what you have. ted ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
