OK, I'm back in the world of M cameras -- I traded some Nikon gear for an M6 
and a 35 pre-asph Summicron.  Everything seems to work great -- test pics 
came back fine and everything, and I think I got some *great* shots last 
night.

But tonight I put the 35 back on the camera (also have a 90 and 50) and saw 
this: http://derekzeanah.no-ip.org/summicron
(it's a DSL line limited to 20k uploads, but I tried to keep the images 
small.  Yes they suck, no I don't care right now.)

Basically, the lens shade rests lop-sided on the lens normally; I can twist 
it back, but it looks like I'm unscrewing the front element of the lens when 
I do so, and having everything line up properly isn't finger tight (though it 
might be tight enough not to notice for 2 days, as is going on here).

Please tell me this is something that's easy to correct.  In-house.  Tonight 
so I've still got the camera in-hand tomorrow.

Please!
