Leica 50 summilux pre asph PROBLEM?

[Dan95]

Hi recently I bought a Leica 50 lux, second version. Had a filter on, and I tried to remove the filter. Instead, the lens detached from the barrel *too much force I guess

I was able to screw the lens back in. Is this normal ? Or should I be worried ? This also happened to my other 50 summilux v2.

And, when rescrewing the lens back in its barrel, do I need to follow any guidelines ? There are number etched in the barrel. I simply screwed it in till it cant be screwed anymore..

yes it's normal.

When rescrewing the lens, just screw it in till it cant be screwed anymore ? I screwed it back in till the dot is aligned with the aperture dot..

 

[nobbylon]

It should be tight. If the dot doesn't line up when tight then rotate the lens and try a different thread starting point.

It is tight now. And aligned.

Glad to hear this occurrence is normal
