Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net Leica just put the new flange on with five screws, my Noctilux and 75mm Summilux are both like that after their trip to Solms. john -----Original Message----- There ARE 6 screws in Leica M lenses. However, there are 2 hole patterns. One of the patterns allows for the replacement flange to be fitted and use all 6 screws. The other pattern, has a screw right where the 6 bit codes are.. So upon replacement, only 5 screws are used. I do not know what Leica does about this dilemma, but for us mere mortals, it means there are 2 different flanges to choose from.
