Hello All,
I have a 35mm Summicron V4 that I removed the mount to tighten the front barrel. When re-installing the screws I partially rounded some of the mounting screws. Not enough to not allow tightening or removing the screws, but enough that I would like to replace them proactively.
Couple of questions:
1) What size are they and where can I get replacements?
2) I believe that the screws are Phillips. The PH000 screwdriver was required to remove them. I have read about some lenses using JIS screws, but this seems to me that the Japanese lenses mainly use these. Leica would have used Phillips?
Thanks in advance

I am not sure but there is something that is called "cross point" drivers that we use for precision European equipment. It is an older type than JIS and is where the JIS + derived from. I am totally alien to Leica so please do not take my word for it, just making you aware that there is something like this that exists.

You might try http://www.dagcamera.com/store/c2/Leica.html - I don't see the screws on the website, but there's a phone number and email address on the site where you can inquire.
