tobey bilek Posted August 1, 2012 Share #21 Posted August 1, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I would suggest you do not remove the shade ever if you find one. People have broken them all. Mine has not been removed for 25 years. I have a cloth cover for the end. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Hi tobey bilek, Take a look here 28mm Elmarit ver3 lenshood 12536 question. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted August 1, 2012 Share #22 Posted August 1, 2012 I haven't broken it . But I did replace it in the end by the Heavystar WA hood. What an improvement... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorflow Posted August 1, 2012 Share #23 Posted August 1, 2012 The spring mechanism feel very flimsy. I leave mine on all the time. Since Leica never had a cover for the hood, I use a cheap 49mm center-pinch lens cap flattened a little on top for clearance. Works great.

jpattison Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share #24 Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) My 11804 now has a 12509 hood, meant for the 28-R f2.8, and it fits perfectly, although you cannot fit a filter, as it sits slightly closer to the lens than on the R lens. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/12509 I've checked, and this doesn't create vignetting (checked from f2.8 to f8) Sherry hasn't replied to my email to buy the one suggested earlier. Thanks all, as usual! John Edited August 2, 2012 by jpattison Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpattison Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share #26 Posted August 3, 2012 Yes, that looks like it. I thought it might fit, measured the internal diameter as approx. 3mm more than the 49mm I knew my M lens took, and it fitted perfectly!
