12466 lens hood.

 

If anybody spots one of the elusive little devils let me know.

Wow, I sold mine on ebay about 6 weeks ago for $375 and probably netted $350 after the fees. I sold it because I just did not use it.

I'm curious about this hood. I can see that it has the clamp approach common to the older types of Leica hoods. Does it also have the lock/indent that the 28mm Cron's existing hood has that locks it into 12 o'clock?

 

I know the whole 28 hood thing has been discussed to death, but I must say, I really do like Leica's new generation of lens hood designs - 35 FLE / 21 SEM, 21/24 LUX, and the new Summarit 35 and 50s.

 

If Leica don't drop the 28 Cron (given they will soon have the 28 Lux while also having the 28 Elmarit), I wonder if they will simply update the ergonomics to the modern barrel and screw/lock hood configuration? It is not out of keeping for Leica to update cosmetics while keeping optics the same (e.g. Noctilux f/1 from v3 to v4).

 

Incidentally, take a look at the lens hood on the M60 version of the 35 FLE. It is the modern screw/lock variety and is very similar to how I imagine Leica would update the 28 Cron hood.

You could try negotiate the price down a little bit. It's so hard to even find one for sale anymore and it's only going to get harder as years go by. I was looking for this hood for a year and have only seen a handful for sale and they were snatched up pretty quickly. Best of luck :)
