thomi Posted August 14, 2018 Share #21 Posted August 14, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) It happened to me already 3 times; Must be a construction problem. I also had dust behind the cover glass of the viewfinder several times and had to send it for cleaning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Hi thomi, Take a look here Missing Eyecup. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ELAN Posted August 14, 2018 Share #22 Posted August 14, 2018 Happened to me as well last month - I wrote Leica Wetzlar and they sent me another (for free). I'd like to buy a couple of spare ones since it seems to be a common issue with the M10 (never had if fall of the M240) but I never received a response how I can order some spares.

sdw Posted August 18, 2018 Share #24 Posted August 18, 2018 The Leica SF store has been taking ages to get me a replacement. Strange issue for the M10s, never had this issue with prior Ms and I really beat them up quite a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
humerc Posted April 7, 2019 Share #25 Posted April 7, 2019 Lost mine from the M10-D today. Not a big deal, but should not happen. Never happened at my previous Ms in long years use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photon42 Posted April 8, 2019 Share #26 Posted April 8, 2019 Need to check whether mine is screwed on well. On my 2017 M10 the frame line lever and the rubber ocular ring disengaged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblutter Posted April 10, 2019 Share #27 Posted April 10, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Glad I skipped the 10 - am waiting for the 11. 240 does all I need, for now... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
humerc Posted April 11, 2019 Share #28 Posted April 11, 2019 I sent an e-mail to Leica Customer Service. They will send me replacements for free. Sure it shouldn’t happen, but who cares... Case closed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish. Mine was over 7K. I think I'm going to proactively pull mine off and resecure it with gorilla glue. Forget the nail polish.

There should be a sticker on the M10 reading: "All parts that fall off this camera are of a genuine German manufacture." 😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My M10 went back to the mothership, as there was more than one thing to fix and it was only after a couple of months. Only took seven weeks turnaround back to (VAT-wise) remote Switzerland 😶.

It is a nasty thing, and melts the area it drops. As has been mentioned in other threads, out-gassing from Loctite glues can fog optical elements. It would be useful if the exact glue type was specified by Leica, e.g., Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 ? Many years ago clear nail polish was recommended to me for a similar function (spokes regularly loosening on a bicycle wheel), so it might be suitable in this context.
