I mean what does one do go around hammering nails with it? ;-) Or banging into protruding things.? In my case the two pins the shade locked on came loose and felt out so I threw the lens shade away as leica wanted a hug amount of money to put the pins in, so my response was, screw it! ;-) So M7 and Noctilux ride along in place on shoulder or neck for posterity.:-) After all, it does sit back in the lens mount fairly well and you'd have to be pretty close to knock the surface against something to do damage. ted
