Must be the silver 12504. Difficult to find out. Last time i saw one on e**y it went for $500 or 600 if memory serves.

Can you buy round metal hood on silver crom f/2

Thinking buying 35 crom

Thanks

Ron

I have also considered buying a chrome 35 but do not like the black hood on the Summicron. When the Summarit is available, I may consider it. Like I mentioned, you can get a chrome hood in a screw-in version really reasonably.

According to a Leica dealer, the hood which is included with the Safari M is heavier than the original 12504 hood. It does not allow you to insert Series 7 filters so it is probably only produced for the Safari M. They indicated that there were 1500 of the Safari M's produced. FWIW

Would be surprising if it were different from this one, but i may be wrong.

I agree and can only assume that they had the Safari kit and actually looked at the lens hood. The last 12504 silver hood I saw that sold on ebay was for $590 and I would never go for that. As I told them, Leica could sell a lot of them if they produced additional ones.
