The central part of the ISO dial on my M7 has fallen off and is now lost!

Does anyone know (i) if it is strictly necessary and (ii) if it is possible to obtain spares for a DIY repair?

Thanks!

I can't quite remember what turns when you press the middle in but isn't the centre part what you use to change the ISO setting? Presumably it is now stuck on DX which might be ok for what you need.

Is this the same M7 that you have had problems with before and which was recently serviced by Leica? If you can stomach sending it back (and waiting) I would imagine Leica will replace it for you at their expense.

Yes, it is the same M7 that was in for repair only few months ago. I am very hesitant to send it to Leica again.

Turning the dial is just as easy without the centre piece as with, and it works correctly. I always assumed that it was just one disk, but obviously not.

I am mostly concerned that more bits do not drop off...

Mark send to Leica Wetzlar a message with  a  photo of the part and wait ....  you can replace it yourself with glue .

As said Ian (Wattsy) , this part is used to turn the dial for DX or manual Isos choice . M7 with M-A and MP are the newest

and the best for film photography !

Indeed - they sent me a replacement part at no cost. I am pleased to say that the camera is back to its usual state again :)
