Advertisement Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Hi eyexist, Take a look here Elmarit-M 28mm ASPH / Lens Hood Cap?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Revdockj Posted November 28, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 28, 2009 Sorry, hopefully someone else will have the part number--but I only wanted to say this has to be one of the poorer designs. Lost mine, too, while on vacation. Retraced my steps in this small town and then. . .there it was, in the street! There isn't much at all to keep it on. I don't bother to use it anymore.

dpattinson Posted November 28, 2009 Share #3 Posted November 28, 2009 Hi Does anyone know the part number for the Elmarit-M 28mm ASPH's rectangular lens hood cap? Lost it Thanks, Brian. I think that's the same style as the 35mm Summicron asph hood cap? If so - I suggest forgetting about replacing it. They are renowned for disappearing and really not worth the bother imho.

LeicaRumors Posted November 28, 2009 Share #4 Posted November 28, 2009 I just read about this lens today - if you believe Ken, the part number should be 14 038: Leica 28mm f/2.8 Elmarit-M ASPH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revdockj Posted November 28, 2009 Share #5 Posted November 28, 2009 Actually, according to that site, that number is for the hood itself. The hood cover is number 14 043. Ken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revdockj Posted November 28, 2009 Share #6 Posted November 28, 2009 Sorry, what I should have said was part #14 038 is for the cap for the lens without the hood. the cap for the hood is #14 043. Ken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adli Posted November 28, 2009 Share #7 Posted November 28, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) It is an expensive piece of plastic to loose. I lost mine myself, paid £17.00 + VAT for a new one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjr Posted November 28, 2009 Share #8 Posted November 28, 2009 L14013 and will set you back £21-00 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyexist Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted November 28, 2009 Thanks folks! It is in fact L14043. Just for clarification, L14013 is for the Summicron-M. L14043 is for the Elmarit-M. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted November 28, 2009 Share #10 Posted November 28, 2009 Hi Does anyone know the part number for the Elmarit-M 28mm ASPH's rectangular lens hood cap? Lost it Thanks, Brian. Brian, #14043. It is the same as that used on the 35mm Summicron and I have lost both twice more than I have found them! I agree that it is an extremely poor design, unworthy of Leica lens designers. I have even thought of threading a black nylon thread through the edge in order to tether it; but that is an untidy solution. I now have a new rule: remove it and store it safely at the start of a shoot and not replace it until the end of the shoot. I am tired of paying ridiculous amounts of cash for a thin piece of black plastic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpattinson Posted November 29, 2009 Share #11 Posted November 29, 2009 I've lost one twice, both times because it flipped off when opening a neoprene case. The neoprene is elastic enough to catch it and flip it off unnoticed. (I don't have the lens anymore, and I rarely if ever use the case either).

magd0328 Posted December 5, 2009 Share #12 Posted December 5, 2009 As others have pointed out, it is the same as the 35mm Summicron hood. When I first bought the 28mm Elmarit Asph. and saw the hood I couldn't believe it wouldn't cause vignetting. I tested it and didn't find any, but I still can't bring myself to believe it.
