gyoung Posted March 3, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 3, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone have any suggestions for a suplementary lens hood to fit the Summilux 50 mm? I have the pre asheric lens with the built in slide out hood, which is of little use once a UVa filter is in place. Typical 'flared' rubber ones cut off a chunk of the viewfinder image, a 'vented' type would be great but I don't think Leica makes one, perhaps a tubular metal type would do but B&W have discontinued theirs in 46mm. Any experience out there? Gerry Young Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted March 3, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 3, 2007 I use a Schneider one. Could be the same as Tiffen's if i remember well. See: http://www.bayantech.com/tiffen-46mm-metal-lens_56257c0.html Here with a filter: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted March 4, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Gerry, Check this fellow: eBay Store – Heavy2stars Photo Gear: Search results for 43mm. I bought a 39mm vented hood from him to use on my 1.9/73mm Hektor - good quality and a reliable seller. Cheers, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n Posted March 4, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 4, 2007 Actually he has an E46 lens. I also recommend eBay dealer heavystar, all of my Leica lenses except one have his hoods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted March 5, 2007 Thanks for the info, I have ordered a 46mm hood from heavystar, it seems quite cheap! Its a pity a vented one isn't available, I do like them. Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
