Advertisement Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Hi s4159765, Take a look here Hood fitting problem with 50mm SX black chrome (11688). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Kwesi Posted January 21, 2021 Share #362 Posted January 21, 2021 Thanks for the photo and confirming. Please let us know how it performs and also how the ordering process was? Is there an English version of the site? How long from ordering till you received the filter? Could you also send a photo without the hood on the lens? Thanks!!

I just ordered from the TAOBAO website (similar to EBAY), there's a transfer depot for international parcels. don't think there's an English website. I think that's the biggest problem. roughly 10 days from ordering. Welcome, dear visitor!

Bear Posted February 19, 2021 Share #365 Posted February 19, 2021 Just picked up a BC made in Portugal. Can confirm the issue still exists 🙃 I've had success with partially screwing on a UV filter and then clipping the hood over the gap between the filter and the lens. I then tighten the filter to the lens body by gently rotating the hood. Works for the few moments I need a hood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted February 22, 2021 Share #366 Posted February 22, 2021 When I bought this lens, I was aware of the problem thanks to this thread. I wrote to Leica and they sent me a fixed hood FOC and screws perfectly into my UV filter. My clip-on hood resides in the box and has never been used. I did however also in the meantime while waiting for the new hood order a hood from Overgaard. Service was very poor and I had to chase them up every 14 days of status.When it finally arrived, I was very pleased. Works great with my 46mm ND filters which I have permanently screwed into this hood. Best feature is that the vents are aligned not to block the rangefinder. No complaints about paint quality that others have had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrik Posted April 15, 2021 Share #369 Posted April 15, 2021 Not sure why it came out like this, cant seem to twist the pic as it was shot in Landscape... Only pic I have though, none from above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein K S Posted April 15, 2021 Share #370 Posted April 15, 2021 Thanks, but hard to see what the «solution» is about. Still stuck with this «problem» lens & still curious 🤨 ... but wow, the Kevlar version... soooo nice 👍😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still stuck with this «problem» lens & still curious 🤨 ... but wow, the Kevlar version... soooo nice 👍😀 What Leica have done is they have replaced the clip-on part with a screw in part that stress into the lens or the filter. Yes, the Reporter... I was NOT going into the M10's I told myself and then this came out... my knees went weak...

Stein K S Posted April 16, 2021 Share #376 Posted April 16, 2021 Hi again Patrik To get it right... they did not modify the original hood, (this one you kept all the time) but sent you a new modified one upon request?

However, in this thread some had to send in their original ones to be modified. I was lucky I guess, or perhaps because My charming personality! 😂😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original base and a modified hood that can now be screwed into the filter thread. Please mnote that the modified hood cannot be reattached to the base shown. It may be that you have to remove the modified part of the hood to do so but i haven't tried to separate it. Fortunately, i have the original hood also Welcome, dear visitor!

PS: This means that you do not us this base for no purpose right now?! And did you handle this through Leica New Jersey or did you initially contact Leica Germany directly (if so; how... customer service?). And any cost...?

And did you handle this through Leica New Jersey or did you initially contact Leica Germany directly (if so; how... customer service?). And any cost...? Regards, That is correct. The base has no purpose now. I handled it through Leica New Jersey and there was no cost except for the initial shipping to New Jersey. The rest was free and it took about 5 weeks. The only potential downside is that you can't use either the lens cap or the hood cap. Not a big deal since there is now a filter on the lens.
