Anyone know if there are any alternative lens hood options for the 35mm Summicron, I have a mint 12526 on my 35mm summciron Asph that fits my 35mm MkIV which has a marked uo 12524 (they look the same)

 

Any alternatives that might be cheap and or interesting, I really like some of the early 'classic' looking hoods ?

The 12504 hood is very nice but less efficient than regular plastic hoods for 35/2 v4 and 35/2 asph. Here on a 28/2.8 asph which uses the same hood as the 35/2 asph.

The 12585 hood should fit as well but i don't have one with me here so i'm not 100% sure.

None of those are clip-on hoods.

 

OP - there have been some Chinese copies "der Ersatz" of the classic vented hood, but the ones I got were ever so slightly defective. One tab did not extend fully from its slot. A gentle touch with a thin dremel disk fixed it.

OP didn't specify a clip on.

I have an older vented 12585 which does not list 35 Summicron on the hood but I put it on my 35 Summicron ASPH and it seems to work ok, although I have not done much with the M9/35 Summicron combo stopped down. Both are pretty new. I prefer this hood to the one that came with the lens and was happy I still had it. It clips on pretty nice and tight.

Oh really. Did the lens he specified (35mm Summicron) accept a threaded lens shade, and did you try to match it (if it exists) to those available in your link?

Bought a black one like this from Heavystar by curiosity. Works fine but it is not a clip-on hood so i must screw it onto my IR-cut filters. No vignetting problems with 50mm lenses but i have not tried in on my Summicrons 35. Beware that screw-in metal hoods may ruin filter threads of lenses in case on drop or bump. Happened once to me so i prefer clip-on or rubber hoods generally.
