lmak Posted September 7, 2017 Share #224 Posted September 7, 2017 That looks like a great solution! It appears many have asked, but where can one order this filter? I am not seeing it through the usual USA online retailers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnew Posted September 7, 2017 Share #225 Posted September 7, 2017 Is that the one ? https://www.schneideroptics.com/Ecommerce/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?CID=1880&IID=9485 There is also a version just for protection, no UV haze. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob123 Posted September 11, 2017 Share #226 Posted September 11, 2017 There is another solution for the time being. I bought myself a E43 UVa 13206 filter on ebay and assumed this would be the way to go.It wasn't because of the wrong thread. Then I first mounted the hood on the lens and after that, let the 13206 fall into the hood in the reversed position.(with the thread on the outside.) So for the people owning this it could be a temporary solution.I made a trip of two weeks on a rally bike through the Pyrenees with this lens, hood, filter combination. SOLID as a ROCK. A little more vignetting at 1.4. Waiting for a more Leica-like solution. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwcheung Posted November 21, 2017 Share #227 Posted November 21, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Information from Hong Kong Leica Forum.

lct Posted November 21, 2017 Share #228 Posted November 21, 2017 Interesting thanks.

carmand Posted December 14, 2017 Share #229 Posted December 14, 2017 I have also now received a modified (ie screw in) hood from Leica - seems like it is a modification they are doing on a case by case basis if my experience is anything to go by. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I would also appreciate any contact info. to get this mod done. My 50mm summilux was part of my first Leica kit in 2016, although the UK dealer was good enough to let me have the 1/500 at normal price, no mention was made of the hood problem. I spent time scratching my head until I found this thread! Many thanks Richard http://www.richardhiston.org Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmand Posted December 17, 2017 Share #232 Posted December 17, 2017 I contacted Leica customer services in the U.K. - firstly they sent me a replacement hood which of course had exactly the same issue, then arranged for this to be sent to Germany for modification. It’s taken several months in all but maintaining patience and politeness has paid off in the end. The only real criticism is that no one acknowledged a known problem - I’m sure they must realise the issue by now and should have acted to iprovide a solution to everyone who bought the lens proactively. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecar Posted January 12, 2018 Share #233 Posted January 12, 2018 Not the most elegant solution, but 43 to 49 step-up ring and generic 49mm screw-in hood seems to work, without vignetting. Total cost is a couple of $. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_b Posted January 24, 2018 Share #234 Posted January 24, 2018 Here is my 13 Euro solution (step-up ring + JJC lens hood): 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! A step-up ring 43-46, then a 46 mm filter and then a JJC lens hood.

neekon Posted January 25, 2018 Share #235 Posted January 25, 2018 This uv filter fits the original hood of 11688 Hey wondering where you found that hood. I scoured the internet and couldn't find it. Would you be able to share a link? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 25, 2018 Share #236 Posted January 25, 2018 Hey wondering where you found that hood. I scoured the internet and couldn't find it. Would you be able to share a link? Ernest suggested above that the hood's code number could be the same as that of the lens itself i.e. 11688. I suspect that the replacement hood is the same, with different engravings perhaps, as the 12586 hood for Summilux 50/1.4 pre-asph (pic) which seems to be still listed in the Leica price list for 2017 hereafter: https://store.leica-camera.jp/pdf/leica_price_list_170201.pdf Welcome, dear visitor!

SKU: 422700040000” there is no numbering on the hood itself, like the 12586 hood. Currently, the black chrome lens hood is out of stock at Leica Store Miami, but it may be pre-ordered. I purchased an extra one a few weeks ago when it was in stock. FYI Leica requested that I send them my Summilux-M so that they could resolve the lens hood situation, presumably with a screw-in black chrome hood. I started my dialogue with Leica over this issue two years ago. I will keep you up-to-date on how things develop. So grateful for the resource of this forum.

Ernest Posted February 3, 2018 Share #238 Posted February 3, 2018 Information from Hong Kong Leica Forum. Bought the following e43 filter from amazon.co.jp and it works. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B0088NEPW0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I bought an Alto filter that looks like the one LCT mentions available on eBay, and it looks like your filter, as well. It does not appear that your filter seats all the way on the lens mount. I point this out because the filter that I bought has a 0.5 mm thread pitch instead of the required .75 mm. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F122927313784 image1.jpeg Alto Classic filter 43mm slim black made in Japan P/O Filter diameter 43mm Material: Aluminum production: Made in Japan Color: Black “Leica Summilux 50 / f1.4 hood X00IM (12521) dedicated filter before female screw is not with external thread. Mono coating. 43mm slim filter, you can put the XOOIM hood left on the filter for the slim diameter. Since XOOIM (12521) Hood, we have remodeled about three times, some attachment there is also a case tight. There is no knurled the urging ring in covering hood.” In my haste, I overlooked the description of the filter which states that it is for the Summilux 50 mm F/1. 4, (not the Summilux-M 50 mm F1.4 black chrome). In other words, the Alto filter fits only the Leica SOOME 1959 to 1968, versions I and II, filter 43 mm x 0.5 mm.

Was just your hood sent to Germany for modification, or was there a modification to the front mount of the lens itself? Or both?Leica asked me to send my entire lens, which I did, now I am wondering what’s up if they intend to simply provide me with a screw-in hood, or if what I am hearing, they intend to modify the lens front mount itself. I will check in with Leica, but I thought I would get some feedback from you regarding your experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
