The F-stop ring got loose?

I don't have a camera bag for my M9 and I usually put it in whatever bag I use that day when I go out.

It was all right yesterday. But I found the F stop ring got loose suddenly when I tried to use it. It was kinda hard to push, yet now it is way too loose.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks!

f stop rings are on lenses, not your m9 body. Are you referring to the lens or to the shutter speed dial that is on the top of your m9.

I'm referring the F stop ring on my lense. Now it even got stuck right at the 5.6 stop. Can't move...

I think the lens needs a CLA - had something similar with a brand new 50/1.4 ASPH. Turned out to be a minor metal shaving & cost me 50 euro and 2 days.

 

I guess I could have sent it to Solms under guarantee but the (anticipated by me) turnaround time appeared unattractive. If Leica was making 100.000 of these things per year then they would have a quality control problem. But as far a I am aware they make a lot less & then it is really difficult to get all the boxes ticked.

 

There will always be minor issues - they will deal with that, that is what we pay for, but there is no way such problems will disappear.
