MPerson Posted January 12, 2012 Share #1  Posted January 12, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I contacted Leica in Mayfair to see if there was any chance of getting a spare lens cap for the 40/2. Despite searching the parts list and not finding the items they contacted the "Gnomes of Solms" (actually the Head of Spares) and it turns out that they are still in stock as are the rubber hoods!  Lens Cap £19.54 including VAT Lens Hood £54.96 incl VAT  P&P extra.  Many thanks to Jimmy Hughes at Leica Mayfair for the effort.

Advertisement Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Hi MPerson, Take a look here Summicron-C 40/2 Lens Cap & Hood. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lct Posted January 12, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks for sharing. The rubber hood is # 12518 and its hood cap # 14191. They can be had for less on the s/h market (12518 & 14191 - 12518) but the rubber of the hood is somewhat fragile so it is good news to know that new parts are still available at Solms.

johnwolf Posted January 12, 2012 Share #3  Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks, that's good to know. Amazing they have parts after all these years.  I bought a 40 Summicron recently, and it came with an adapted rectangular hood. I have a round vented hood that also fits well. What a great lens.  John Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

gvaliquette Posted January 12, 2012 Share #4 Â Posted January 12, 2012 Does anybody know if the 40mm f2.0 M-Rokkor shares the same hood and cap? Â Thanks. Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckart Posted January 13, 2012 Share #5 Â Posted January 13, 2012 I am afraid no. As far as Iknow the diameter is 40.5mm on the Rokkor and not the 39mm of the summicron-c Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Gunst Lund Posted January 13, 2012 Share #6 Â Posted January 13, 2012 Leitz Summicron C 40 2.0 has a Series 5.5 filter thread The B+W filters taken out of their 39mm filter retainer, fits directly inside the Series 5.5 filter holders... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecar Posted January 14, 2012 Share #7 Â Posted January 14, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am afraid no. As far as Iknow the diameter is 40.5mm on the Rokkor and not the 39mm of the summicron-c Unless you want the real thing, you can get a (cheaper) 40.5mm hood+cap from Heavystar.
