I must say I am really digging Bo Lorentzen (forum member here as well) alternative hood for the CV 35mm. I always wanted the square type hood instead of the round one and this fits the bill perfectly. I took some pics of it on my M8 on my blog check it out at:

Bo sent me few weeks ago this lens hood. I'm very happy with it, much better than the original (optional) one: better contrast and flare reduction.

 

lct, no vignetting on the M8. Keine ahnung mit M9.

 

Thank you, Bo! ;)

Tobin,

 

Glad you like it, the hood sure look great on the black M8. How do you like the thinner material in the part cutting into the viewfinder.? I tried to get the angle right so that the material obscures as little as possible.

 

LCT. there is no vignetting on the M9, I have been using my 35mm extensively on the M9 almost always wide open. Or at least I have not been able to detect any vignetting after capturing lots of pictures on tripod with and without the hood, I made it as aggressive as I could before it started to affect the image.

 

ArtZ, glad you like it, nothing more exciting than making something and seeing other photographers enjoy the design.
