jhluxton Posted January 17, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) On Saturday I had a mishap and managed to drop my V-lux 1 lens hood into deep water. Emailed UK Leica and had a replacement price of £79.00 inc P&P quoted. A contact has pointed out that the similar Panasonic FZ50 replacement hood is under £10. Can anyone confirm if the Panasonic FZ50 and Leica V-lux 1 hood fittings are identical? It appears crazy to be paying over 12% of the original purchase price of the camera for for the Leica version it is only a bit of plastic and probably came from the same factory as the Panasonic. I would welcome info asap as I asked Leica UK to order one this evening by email - but will contact again to cancel if I can ascertain if FZ50 hood mounting is the same.
