Lens hood for Voigtlander 21mm f/4

I'm looking for a more usable lens hood for my Voigtlander 21mm f/4 for use on an M8

 

The Original is not worth much for shade or for preventing fingerprints etc. on the UVIR filter...

 

I am hoping.... Leica hood 12585 (35-50) will fit, don't mind if I have to cut a little length...

 

Could anyone check for me if Leica hood 12585 (35-50) fits 21mm 4.0

 

or, if 12585 has the same interface as 12575, ie. does it fit 90 and 135 4.0

 

Thanks!

I'll check tomorrow when i get back home. My favorite is the rubber hood 12518 with hood cap 14191. Work fine on the M8 with no vignetting and minimum blocking of the viewfinder.

On the M9 I like the optional VC rectangular LH-1 lens hood:

Just tried 12585 and 12585H hoods on the CV 21/4. Both fit perfectly and don't seem to add vignetting on my M8.2.

I've tried mine on the 21/4 on the M8 and I have to say that it certainly does shade the corners in some circumstances. It's not visible on all subjects, but it shows in skies and subjects with areas of light, plain tones. And it's rather worse at smaller apertures, indicating that it's indded the hood that's responsible.

The CV 21/4 vignettes a lot w/o coding. I would be surprised that a 12585 hood can make any difference then, but i may be wrong. The Heavystar 39mm vented hood may be a good idea for those who like screw-in metal hoods, provided they don't use IR-cut or other filters though. Otherwise, the hood must be screwed onto the filter and vignetting is unacceptable then.

No problem with the plain "W" Heavystar though. Doesn't cause more vignetting than the 12585 with IR-cut filter on and blocks very little the 28mm frame of the viewfinder.
