Lens hoods for an old Summicron
Ad
Afternoon allBit of a stupid question this: I have an old (1986 I think) Summicron 50 - one of the Canadian ones - on my M9. As it's stark bollock naked apart from its lens cap I wanted to get a lens hood for it - both for reasons of protection and preventing glare and flare - anyone got any suggestions as to what's a good one to get (without breaking the bank too much!). And what's the best type? Collapsible? Petal? Conical? Etc? Thanks in advance K My Flickr page: Flickr: The_Kevster's Photostream Please be gentle, I'm very new to RF photography! |

Re: Lens hoods for an old Summicron
Hi
Does it have to be a Leica one? I just bought a new one on E Bay for the same lens from a dealer in China for under $10.00 Canadian with free shipping. ( has not arrived yet) Take a look MachineGun |

Re: Lens hoods for an old Summicron
Try heavystar direct or on the bay. Black metal, low cost.
I like the vented ones best.

Re: Lens hoods for an old Summicron
Not sure what would break your bank
 but, probably the best would be the original Leica 12585 clip-on shade. And I second the recommendation about 'heavystar' - his products are excellent.The advantage of the 12585 shade is that it clips on and can be reversed over the lens for storage. Best, Jan |

Re: Lens hoods for an old Summicron
I have a chrome v4 Summicron. If you use the older metal hood (12585?) it's attaches loose. Iv'e tried this with at least 4 of the older hoods. I've only tried one of the period-correct hoods (12538?) and it was less loose.
I'm thinking to hold out for a 12538 that actually fits correctly. This will mean waiting until I see one in person. Don't want to risk mail order and then have to return. |

Re: Lens hoods for an old Summicron
Thanks for the replies everyone.
I've gone for the Heavystar solution as the Leica 12585 seems quite expensive secondhand! K My Flickr page: Flickr: The_Kevster's Photostream Please be gentle, I'm very new to RF photography! |
