I understand now.
I think my "solution" would be to mount the filter and leave the hood in the box. Then you would never have to swap it out. I can't imagine the hood does much on the zoom anyway, and didn't Michael Reimann say that he could not provoke flare no matter how hard he tried?
My feeling is that the hoods on all the leica wides are insufficient to really protect the lens from flare, and now that we have instant review, it is much easier to see a problem immediately and correct for it. The hoods on my 21 and 28 block too much of the finder so they currently "protect" my desktop mostly.
