I have the lens and would like to see what it looks like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine myself spending such an amount of money on something that I can get for a few dollars on eBay in very similar quality. Plus, my cameras get used and the hoods take the brunt of wear and tear. I would hate to put a patina on such a stack of money. Leica is bad enough in this respect. My Summilux 24 hood is scratched and dinged all over, but I refuse to renew it. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdt2 Posted June 25, 2020 Share #84 Posted June 25, 2020 Since my original post I was successfully able to order and receive TVO lens hoods for both my 50 Lux BC and 20 Elmarit. I have attached 2 photos of one mounted on my 50 Lux BC. Welcome, dear visitor!

Anakronox Posted June 25, 2020 Share #85 Posted June 25, 2020 I picked up a couple of his 39mm thread mount hoods because they have 46mm filter threads! Expensive, yes. But I do tend to use them with my Summicron 40, 50, Elmarit 28, and Ultron 35. So the advantage for me is that I haven’t had to buy any 39mm color filters for my Monochrom. That alone justified the price for me. And yes, I know I could have just picked up some cheap step-up rings to only carry one diameter filter, but that would have negated the ability to use a hood. I doubt I will ever buy any more though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On June 17th I received notice it was being shipped (from HK) and it arrived by FedEx a couple of days later. It came in a nice presentation and fits my lens perfectly. I don't mind the standard Leica hood that came with my lens, but I thought I'd give the Venitlated shade a try anyway. Elephant skin bag? Or rhino hide? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, probably deserved that! 😀 Thankfully no animal skin. Just a nice, neat presentation. I only mentioned my order because others had said they had problems receiving theirs. The truth is, after being cooped mostly inside since March I was having terrible GAS. I found myself being convinced I needed to get into the S system (used of course) or buy new M and SL lenses. Buying a ventilated shade seems to have cooled off that thinking for now. So by that measurement it was not expensive. I do prefer the compact size of the original 28mm Summilux hood so time will tell if I do switch over to the ventilated hood. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted June 25, 2020 Share #88 Posted June 25, 2020 I’ve stuck with the standard hood on my 28 Summilux. Curiously, I like the hoods that came with my 28 Summaron, 35 Summilux pre-asph and 50 APO Summicron. I did get a Thorsten von Overpriced hood for my 35 Summilux-TL - the standard one was huge. The TvO hood is smaller, but a bit ... odd. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming you purchased to use a hood and filter. I have the lens and would like to see what it looks like. I like the TO 28 hood. It has less (as good as none) viewfinder blockage than the original Leica hood. The TO 50 hood is lighter and smaller than the original Leica hood. The TO hoods allow to use filters without adding to the size of lens and hood. Welcome, dear visitor!

I find that the shade protects the glass of the lens pretty well; and also UV filter glass is less resistent to scratches than the front glass of the lens. Without UV filter, the lens looks nicer, I think. The few times where I have had front glass scratched, Leica were able to replace or polish it relatively inexpensive. You have the option to add ND or colored filters on the front of the hood, either original filter size (via the adapter it comes with), or a larger filter size that fits onto the hood without any adapters. I do that for all my ND filters and then never have to remove any hood. (For the hoods with outside screw, the original lens thread is still available for filters without adding length to the lens, like the Leica Q, 28/1.4, 28/2.8 and so on).

I tried one for my Summilux-M 35 mm Asph; it didn't fit the lens's threads. I returned it and never received my refund. Avoid them. Better get a generic ventilated hood from Hong-Kong. Throsten customer service is between terrible and atrocious. I didn’t get my product for six weeks and getting a refund was like pulling teeth. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danieldouloslee Posted November 19, 2020 Share #97 Posted November 19, 2020 @Overgaard - wanted to ask if the Q ventilated hood also works with the 28 luxM (hood with outside screw). If yes, I plan on buying one as I own both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
danieldouloslee Posted November 21, 2020 Share #98 Posted November 21, 2020 To follow up on my own post, I do not believe the hoods are interchangeable between the Q and 28 Lux-M. The outer threads on both hoods are different sizes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
