jdlaing Posted October 15, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted October 15, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) A while back I purchased a Leica 21mm f/2.8 Pre Aspherical in just beautiful condition. Got it for a great price. Â It had no hood. Â Through this forum I got enough information and went on a world wide hunt for the hood. It was not to be had even IF I had the required several hundred dollars. I went on wait lists....want to buy lists.....called everybody and their aunt. Â Lo and behold I was in a shop today to buy some mundane items and there it was in a box of used spare parts. Â "Skippy" the camera expert carefully explained he did not know what it fits or where it came from so i could have it for ten dollars plus tax. Not wanting to dance the jig in front of he and the customers I groused about the tax and he said ten bucks out the door. Â Score one for the patient.............
