Fortunately Will is not Leica-expensive

"Due to a heavy workload we have decided not to accept unprofitable work anymore. Unprofitable is -in our opinion- (older) equipment that does not justify costs of about 150 Euros (21% VAT excluded)"

 

Oh no

It did change. 12464 in 2011 and 12465 since then.

The hood that comes with the 35 "FLE" should clear all standard (not slim) B+W filters without any problem. There is 1-2mm of clearance so it isn't even a tight fit. However, the hood that originally shipped with this lens when it was first released didn't clear standard (non-slim) filters and was quickly replaced by Leica with one that did. There was discussion about this here back in 2011 (I seem to recall MarkP might have had such a hood?). The issue was resolved very quickly so only affected

Ok, but it is probably also missing the rubber ring that effectively holds the hood in place. I think Jaap is right, this lens might need some professional help.

Don't worry - that is not about a Summilux FLE. You cannot argue that a SX FLE is not worth a repair. That text  is if you send him a broken Zorki, or Jupiter, for instance.

I sent him a 1970-ies Summicron with a loose rear lens last week, no problem.

If you like, I can call him for you.
