Guest Posted August 11, 2013 Share #61  Posted August 11, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can't still believe that only 200 or 500 hoods 12466 were produced for two different types of lenses. Might it be possible that only 200 hoods were produced with the silver metall look for the special edition of the silver summicron 28 mm which was sold together with the white M8?  Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Hi Guest, Take a look here 12466 hood. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lct Posted August 11, 2013 Share #62  Posted August 11, 2013 What you're showing here is an Elmarit 28/2.8 asph with a 12504 hood. When it was sold in 2010 if memory serves the 12466 was advertised as a black hood for 11874 (35/1.4 asph), 11604
 (28/2) and 
11809 (28/2.8 pre-asph) in a special series of 500 samples sold for 300 EUR then. Was so in France at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 11, 2013 Share #63  Posted August 11, 2013 ... You're right, I mixed up the white M8 with the M9 Titanium set. Welcome, dear visitor!

wattsy Posted August 11, 2013 Share #64 Â Posted August 11, 2013 You're right, I mixed up the white M8 with the M9 Titanium set.

Â As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the M9 Titanium hood isn't a 12466. The lens with this camera is a 35 FLE which uses a screw-on hood.

algrove Posted August 11, 2013 Share #65 Â Posted August 11, 2013 Reality is hard-headed. Excerpt of a Leica tariff: Â Good find lct. 500 still seems too few, but I am disappointed it's not 200 for 3 applications. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted August 11, 2013 Share #66 Â Posted August 11, 2013 Yes the current Summilux 35/1.4 asph for the M9 Titan has a screw-on hood and not a clip-on one like the 12466. The latter was made in titanium version for the previous Summilux 35/1.4 asph you can see below in the M7 titanium set. Â So 90, 50 and 35 seems like a good combination (Leica's recommendation) if one adds a WA lens then it would be even better IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted August 11, 2013 Share #67 Â Posted August 11, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) In fact the M7 titanium set had a 28/2 and not a 35/1.4 according to Leicapages.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted August 17, 2013 Share #68  Posted August 17, 2013 Just received my 12466. Very nice but significantly larger than both 12588 (pics) and 12589 hoods. Welcome, dear visitor!

CalArts 99 Posted August 17, 2013 Share #69 Â Posted August 17, 2013 Just received my 12466. Very nice but significantly larger than both 12588 (pics) and 12589 hoods. Â Just curious, do you find that it actually functions better (i.e., shade the lens from flare) over the 12588 and 12589? Â It also makes me wonder why they made the current Frankenhood so large if the 12466 (and the 12588/12589) do indeed shade the lens properly.

lct Posted August 17, 2013 Share #70 Â Posted August 17, 2013 I have no experience enough with the 12466 but i does not provide more shade than both 12588 and 12589 apparently. Now the 12466 was a special hood from 2010 aimed at three lenses (28/2, 28/2.8, 35/1.4 asph) whilst 12588 and 12589 were regular hoods from the nineties (35/1.4 aspherical and asph) and Frankenhood 12451 was dedicated since 2000 to the 28/2.

Â Thanks. I'm using the 12589 right now on my 28 Summicron, but the locking twist ring on it (which is apparently absent in the 12588 from the picture you posted) butts up closely to the aperture ring of the lens and requires well placed (and tiny) fingers to use the aperture ring. Also the 12588 seems just slightly larger than the 12589. Â There's no way I can afford the 12466. These prices are just too much for a hood, although I do realize if the 12466 is of limited quantity then it's a seller's market. Â btw, the 28 Summicron was selling brand new in 2002 for 2,009 USD. And in 2005 it was selling new for 2,529 USD. Today it's at 4,295 USD new and for the exact same lens (nothing's changed with it since its introduction.) imho, it's all becoming kind of obscene.

Also the 12588 seems just slightly larger than the 12589... The 12588 has the same size as the 12589. It is in fact the same hood w/o the locking ring of the latter. This way the hood does not get in the way when rotating the aperture ring but the 12588 tends to detach itself much more easily from the lens. Remains my favorite though so far. Got a new sample for $ 130 on e**y last year. 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!

I bought a used mint condition one for 90 USD last year from a Leica vendor. It sounds like the 12588 might be more desirable given the price differences. The locking ring getting in the way is kind of a PITA. But then again I wouldn't want it coming off, either. Sounds like the 12466 is a good solution. Too bad it's so crazy expensive.

Its size is more ideal IMHO. There must still be plenty available.I cannot believe the supply has dried up that fast. lct, where id you find yours?

I have not the 12589 with me here but the 12466 is close to the aperture ring as well. It is not dented though so you might feel it less painful than the 12589.
