pbizarro Posted June 1, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is it possible to use a lens hood on the lens? I don't see one offered by Leica in the list of accessories. Perhaps some third party one? Thanks and regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Hi pbizarro, Take a look here Leica Typ 113 - lens hood?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Iduna Posted June 1, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 1, 2015 pbizarro, I had the same problem with the X1. There is available a kind of tube (probably KIWI) which you can screw on the body. It is also a fine protection then for the lens. This tube has a mount where you can add filters or magnifiying lens from the ELPRO series etc. You can also add a sun hood. May this information help to find a solution for your problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiafish Posted June 1, 2015 Share #3 Posted June 1, 2015 The hood made for the X Vario is a perfect fit, but is made for the wider angle lens for that camera. Any screw in hood with 43mm threads will work, so long as it is made for a 35mm or wider lens. i don't use a hood with my X and find that the lens just refuses the flare in most situations.

wda Posted June 1, 2015 Share #4 Posted June 1, 2015 But flare is not the only potential problem. Fingers and smears or worse can be deflected by a good lens hood. Given a choice, I would always use one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I need a non-compact fixed lens X camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbizarro Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted June 5, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for the replies. I ended up buying a X Vario hood, flea-bay version, also metal, but a lot cheaper. I don't see the Typ 113 as "compact camera" (it's about the same size as my Sony A7II, so...), so no problem with adding the lens hood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leiceria Posted June 6, 2015 Share #9 Posted June 6, 2015 The lens has a screw-in of 43mm. I use a hood from enjoyyourcamera.com with 46 mm (JJC, LH-46GF) with an adapter from heliopan.de number 243 46/43. This hood looks very nice.

c4change Posted July 13, 2015 Share #10 Posted July 13, 2015 Is it possible to use a lens hood on the lens? I don't see one offered by Leica in the list of accessories. Perhaps some third party one? Thanks and regards As Asiafish said, the X Vario hood works perfectly fine. I personally like to use a hood for protection of the front element and just leave the lens cap at home. There are third party alternatives. I have a JJC one that works well. Cost like $20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwF Posted September 22, 2015 Share #11 Posted September 22, 2015 I haven't been here for a while but was an X1 user just after that camera was introduced. The Leica X that I just picked up came with a 43mm filter. Trying to understand this without having the hood to work with, will my 43mm thrad filter then screw in to the 43mm lenshood? If that is the case, I might just go for the JJC hood. Thank you in advance, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
