They both are still glued together after years of use in a newsphotographers bag. Heck they are still together right now and I have drilled out the center part. I no longer shoot Nikon and have turned my old 50 1.4 AIS into a loupe and use the hollowed out lens caps as an eye cup. (Thanks to Mark R for this idea). I used super glue back when I did this. Guess it would work on the Leica plastic as well as it did the Nikon stuff. - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net
