Clandrel Posted March 9, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 9, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone know where the outer external metal ring (protection ring) is located in the box? The one that is screwed on the front side of the lens? I just can't find it... /c Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Hi Clandrel, Take a look here 75mm Summarit question. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
bernie.lcf Posted March 9, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 9, 2011 The lens hood, if that's what you mean by "ring", is not part of the box. For Summarit lenses this is an optional item to be purchased separately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggele Posted March 9, 2011 Share #3 Posted March 9, 2011 I don´t think he means the hood. The protection ring should be bolted on the lens.If not, someone took it out of the box! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the protection ring that's missing. Can't find it anywhere. They must have taken it out of the box! /c Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have taken it out of the box! /c I bought my 75mm Summilux as a demo model. It came without the ring, but it did come with the optional hood in place - a good tradeoff IMO. The ring is available from Leica if you really want one. Not cheap though... Regards, Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicoleica Posted March 10, 2011 Share #8 Posted March 10, 2011 If you bought the matching hood at the same time, have a look in the hood's box, just in case it was put in there for safe-keeping. Otherwise, I would suggest that you contact the supplier and request that they rectify this promptly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone may send you one, but they are not useful you need the hood, CV dont sell their long focus lenses without a hood, Leica have lost the plot again...

cbretteville Posted March 10, 2011 Share #10 Posted March 10, 2011 Another little tidbit of info: the metal hood reverses on the 75 (and I expect on the 90 Summarit) and screws in backwards for storage. The metal cap fits over the back end of the hood when it is on that way too. Makes the lens very compact. Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted March 10, 2011 Share #14 Posted March 10, 2011 By weird coincidence, I bought a 75 Summarit today, and the ring also appeared to be missing It had come loose and was INSIDE the front lens cap, held to the felt lining by friction. It's so small and light we'd taken the cap off 2-3 times without it ever falling out or being noticed. I kid you not! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, do you know the replacement cost? Mark From Leica in NJ: Front Ring 421-091-001-007 $24.00 You can order it directly from them or ask your dealer to order it for you.

It's so small and light we'd taken the cap off 2-3 times without it ever falling out or being noticed. I kid you not! Actually, inside the lens caps is where I keep my Summarits' protection rings while using the hoods—that is, most of the time. There, they won't get lost or bent.

Xmas Posted March 11, 2011 Share #17 Posted March 11, 2011 Hi The CV normal & wides have a similar arrangement, cap with felt lining, & short hood. The simplest way of removing the short hood is to push on the cap and unscrew it (the cap) as the ring will distort if you try to unscrew it by hand, and lock on, even if it is loose enough to be undone by the friction with the cap.

wda Posted March 11, 2011 Share #20 Posted March 11, 2011 Thank you for your confession. Easily overlooked although my ring is secure in a little Leica drawer for small components. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
