Hi there. Couple of days ago I decided to try some LTM glass on my Leica MP and bought a new Fotodiox 50/75 adapter. While it worked perfectly I was surprised and mostly heart broken to see that the mid line of the lens mount had been scratched on my beloved camera which I saved for such a long time to buy. The scratch is superficial as far as I can see and on the 4,5,6 and 7 o'clock directions (The photo which I share on here doesn't do them justice. They are more visible than what looks like here). I didn't have time to develop my film so I cannot say if it damaged the mount on funtional level. But I want to learn your experiences with similar situations if you had any. I read that these things can happen even when you use native lenses on cameras but as far as I know for the last 9 months my Voigtlander 35mm f/2 Ultron didn't damage or let alone scratch the lens mount on my MP. I reattached my Voigtlander after experiencing this situation and shooting another roll of film with it to see if there is any problem. Is there a possibility that I damaged my camera functionally? Can my Voigtlander be attached to the lens mount securely and without further damage either to the lens mount or the lens itself? What are you thoughts on Fotodiox adapters? The adapter that I bought seems that it is made of a material that is not similar to the material that Leica uses on its mount. I would be grateful to read your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

I bought my X2 many years ago. It was used but in splendid condition. It became my most used camera among several others, including an X Vario, D-Lux 109, and M8. A few days ago I was taking some still life photos with the X2 mounted on a tripod. I accidentally knocked over the tripod and the X2 hit a piece of furniture on its journey to the floor. Of course the X2 was damaged beyond repair. I'm just now recovering from the trauma. Now I see that a new model X2 is being produced: the Leica 18450 X2. The price new is about the same as what I paid for my used x2. My question: Will the quality of the new model be as good, about the same, or inferior to an excellent original X2?
