Guest maddin Posted February 17, 2007 Share #2 Posted February 17, 2007 Lens hood 12585 might work. it's made of metal and fits my 2/35 asph well. just that you can not put it on reversed to close it with a cap as it collides with the focussing tab.

samwells Posted February 18, 2007 Share #3 Posted February 18, 2007 Yes, I have 12585H which is round and metal (albeit black). It's good for 2/50mm as well as 2/35. Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted February 18, 2007 Share #4 Posted February 18, 2007 Mehmet, All the special edition hoods for the 35/2 ASPH are based on the black metal 12504. If you know someone with a Hermes, the number is not in the instruction book for the lens. I have an LHSA Hammertone (as well as a 12504) and it is not. You will probably need to contact Leica Customer Service directly since you are in Turkey. cs@leica-camera.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted February 18, 2007 Share #5 Posted February 18, 2007 I need a lens hood same as Leica MP hermes edition. This hood is not rectangular ,it is circular and for me good than the rectangular. I guess we all have personal preferences. I recently bought a black paint 35/2 ASPH (rather perversely the painted version was cheaper than the regular black chrome) and it came with the circular hood that you are after. I can't say I like it much. It makes the diminutive 'cron seem much larger than it needs to and there's no easy way to cap the lens with the hood in place. I also suspect that the rectangular hood is more efficient for the task it is designed for than is the circular one. I intend to replace it with the bog standard hood ASAP.
