Elmarit-M 28mm ASPH / Lens Hood Cap?

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.

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.

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!

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.
