I had the same problem with an M4 back in August, 1976.  I can still
remember the "clunk" of my 50 Summilux hitting the pavement.  Fortunately it
hit base down, and the only damage was a bent lens-mount flange.  My
repairman at the time machined it so it would fit again, and I carried on
shooting with no problems.  In the afterlife I'm going to hunt down the
bean-counter who recommended removing that button guard, and I'm gonna have
a little chat with him...
