Frapiscide Posted October 10, 2014 Share #1 Â Posted October 10, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I recently bought a Summarit M 35mm f2.5 lens second hand and it lacked the thread protector for the threads for the hood. While the lens has a UV/IR filter for my M8 which protects the threads from bumps fairly well, is it possible to get the thread protector alone? Â Alternatively, does anyone know the thread pitch so I could turn an aluminum ring to cover the threads? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted October 10, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted October 10, 2014 Those rings count as "replacement parts", like replacement red dots for the lens barrel - i.e. they are not "products" that can be ordered like a complete lens or camera. So you need to contact the service & repair department of your regional Leica distributor, or repair and service at the Leica factory. Â In the USA, it would be Leica USA in New Jersey. I've gotten the red dots and replacement plastic inserts for film-M frame preview levers from Leica USA - usually free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB_tx Posted October 10, 2014 Share #3 Â Posted October 10, 2014 Yes, I got the protector and cap from Leica NJ for my used Summarit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frapiscide Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share #4 Â Posted October 10, 2014 Called up Leica NJ and have one ordered. Should come in a couple of weeks due to them waiting on a shipment. It was $24 but compared to other things Leica, that's dirt cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
