Hi,

you can try to contact Leica by email, they could send you the replacement screw or sell it to you:

Otherwise, try the ebay seller tonaya. They seem to have lots of spare parts for classic Leica M cameras, I bought a rewind button for my M2 there.

You do need to replace it

It's a screw, Vicky, not a marker, and you'd better listen to Stewart.

thanks everyone. Sorry for the lack of punctuation and speedy reply as i am on my mobile and still travelling. I rang leica and they are sending me a screw for free! Just a shame my 35mm ultron is off infinity, back screws have come loose after 130 odd miles of walking and being draped around my neck. Thanks. Vicky

May I recommend some Loc-tite on those screws? To keep the Leica & Lens from parting out on the road...😉
