NikonJeff Posted July 3, 2012 Share #1  Posted July 3, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've been looking for a way to protect my lenses and hoods while carrying them around or storing them without continually dismantling them and misplacing lens caps & hoods.  I ran across a product called a "Lens Hoodie" made by LensCoat. The XXS size fits quite nicely on my Zeiss ZM35 & ZM50 with the lens shade installed. the XS fits my Summilux 50 v2 with the 12586 shade installed.  Thought I would share as this is a good solution for me and I won't chance loosing one of those expensive Leica caps since I'll keep them at home now...  Below is a link to the XXS that I purchased and a photo of my M9 with it installed.

rob139 Posted July 3, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted July 3, 2012 Works very well. I have an Optech hoodie on my 24 mm Summilux ASPH, which is quite big compared to other Leica lenses. The hood has helped against damage from bumping many times. Â Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Thanks Jeff, I've been using this product for a short while and found them to be a good alternative to a full case when doing outdoor stuff where the camera/lens could get rough handling. The camera has a half case and the lens is protected with these. They can be removed quickly and put in a pocket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikonJeff Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share #9  Posted July 4, 2012 Egad, a camera condom... This begs the question, what do you wear under your hoodie? UV filter, Lens Cap, Hood, and a hood cap?  What ever to going naked?  Just the hood - no filter, no lens cap. My whole purpose was to make it simple to protect the lens while carrying without having to remove the hood or a lens cap. The Hoodie covers the factory hood and part of the lens, has a thick pad on the front as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
