keithd Posted April 15, 2024 Share #1  Posted April 15, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi  I have a technical question re my 35mm it recently had. CLA and now the metal oblong lens shade is loose .lalso have the 21mm sea which uses the same lens shade inter changing the hoods both are tight on the 21mm that Leeds me to assume the problem is the thread on the 35mm. The question is does Leica use some form of thread locker on their lenses to make the fitting firm? I suspect that if that is the case it was cleaned off when it had a cla. sorry for the long winded post cheers keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

photophile Posted April 16, 2024 Share #2 Â Posted April 16, 2024 No thread locker to speak of. It should fit snugly and align perfectly. Maybe a drop of lubricant from the cla splashed on the thread? There are others who may know far better than I - but a surmise. Best of luck. Check with the person who did the CLA?

keithd Posted April 16, 2024 Author Share #3  Posted April 16, 2024 Thanks photophile that’s what I thought I have tried to clean thread with isopropyl alcohol but did not improve the fitting it’s just a pita cheers keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
