Click them on and shoot! If you see something way out of line or screwed-up quite badly indicating a real major problem??? Then get it fixed! Until then, it's nothing more than another money maker for Leica and screwing us! And yes I've used a Noctilux f 1.0 since the first one was available in Canada around 1970 something? Or close to that. Actually I have the first one sold in Canada, made in Canada! Dang and it still works like a dream when I need it at f1.0! Just gotta love it! Oh and markings??????? What were we talking about????? :-) cheers, Dr. ted :-)
