GeorgeDexter Posted July 14, 2015 Share #1  Posted July 14, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Greeting Knowledgeable Gentlemen,  I have a curious little accessory here.  From the waist down, it's a normal lens hood fitting the 3.5cm & 5cm Summicron, Elmar, etc.  Instead of a normal hood, however, it has a male 49mm thread on the front. It's marked "42" on the rear chrome surface that faces the camera.  Please help!   Welcome, dear visitor!

1234 Posted July 14, 2015 Share #2  Posted July 14, 2015 This adapter couples the 42mm front end of a Leica lens (E39 filter size) to the rear of the Leitz bellows hood.  See here for many illustrations of entire assembly:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEICA-16556-16557-M-BELLOWS-LEICA-LEITZ-BELLOWS-II-LEICA-BELLOWS-HOOD-42MM-FIT-/281698073402?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4196837b3a  Harry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234 Posted July 15, 2015 Share #3 Â Posted July 15, 2015 P.S. You might find it very helpful to purchase a few Leica/Leitz photographic equipment catalogs in edition numbers range 30's-40's (post war era) on the auction site for $5-10. Earlier ones will have the codewords and later ones the part numbers for all these pieces about which you've inquired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do my best to research these items on my own. Many more Leitz items pass through my hands that I successfully identify myself, but occasionally I need a little help or verification.   I appreciate your expertise.  Best Regards, George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
