vertekijker Posted November 9, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 9, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just took out my 21mm pre-asph. and noticed that it's hood consists of two parts. These two parts seem to separate fairly easily - is this how it should be? Isn't there a danger that the second part (on the right of the photograph) will get lost? Is there a remedy for this or am I needlessly worried? I imagine that I could just glue these together, or is that a sacrilegious thing to do? Your input is much appreciated! --------------------- Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted November 9, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 9, 2008 Interesting. Leica made two different methods for attaching the 21 pre-ASPH shade. the latter one, like yours, used squeeze clips - the earlier bayoneted on (lens had two pins, shade had two L-shaped slots - press the shade on and rotate 30 degrees to lock the slots on the pins) My slot/pin-type shade is definitely one piece. Once I had your kind with a different 21, and do not recall it coming apart easily. I think glue would be OK. But you might also contact your local Leica repair office - or Solms - to see if they have a suggestion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted November 10, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 10, 2008 I have this lens and hood. The hood is clearly not intended to come apart. Use a couple of drops of superglue. The old man from the Age When We Used Our Derby Hats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertekijker Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted November 10, 2008 Thank you Adan and Lars, Yes, I think that I'll glue them. It makes me wonder though why they ever made it that way. -------------------- Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
