I dropped my 40mm summicron like an idiot and was wondering where I can source a rear lens mount flange for the lens? Thank you for  your help.

Sorry, can't help much: Leica is the only place that comes to mind.

 

When I've dropped lenses, if the damage is noticeable I send them to the manufacturer for repair.

 

Sorry about your 40mm. It's a dynamite lens. But it goes back, what, forty years? I hope parts are still available.

You might spend time finding a replacement flange and installing it only to find that the force of the drop that needed to damage the flange has jolted the lans elements and de-centered them, which would require specialist repair.  My advice is to send the lens back to Leica who will repair it and provide a warranty for the repair.

Agree, just bit the bullet and send it in for a proper repair.

Never heard of replacement flanges for Summicron 40/2 so far. Agree for a repair but i would make sure that it doesn't cost more than $500 as both Summicron and Rokkor 40/2 can be had for less on the s/h market.
