hankg Posted July 27, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm wondering if the hood for the 35 Summilux intrudes less into the finder then the hood for the 28 summicron. Would the 35 hood be a better choice for the 28 on the M8? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Hi hankg, Take a look here hood for 28/2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
gravastar Posted July 28, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 28, 2007 Yes, it works very well. Smaller, less of the viewfinder blocked and doesn't vignette. Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwfreund Posted July 28, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 28, 2007 I agree, for the M8 this is the "correct" hood for the 28/2 -bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted July 28, 2007 Share #4 Posted July 28, 2007 Rotating the 28/2 apertures ring is not much comfortable with the 35/1.4asph hood on so i use more and more a metal screw in one nowadays. But it blocks a bit the viewfinder of the R-D1. Matter of compromise i guess. I seem to recall that some list members here (Guy Mancuso perhaps?) use a smaller one than mine with their M8.

grdglass Posted July 28, 2007 Share #5 Posted July 28, 2007 Is there a metal screw-in hood having the same diameter as the 28/2? Will one of the Contax G1/G2 hoods work? Which one? Helene Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted July 28, 2007 Share #6 Posted July 28, 2007 I use a 46mm wide angle metal hood from Heavy2stars on eBay. At around $7 they are a steal. Add a 55mm push on lens cap and you're all set. - Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grdglass Posted July 28, 2007 Share #7 Posted July 28, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I don't see any wide angle lens hoods on ebay in 46mm size. Helene Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted July 28, 2007 Share #8 Posted July 28, 2007 Helene, Write him an eBay message and ask. He usually have them but may be temporarily out. I've bought lots of stuff from him over the past few years and he's always been prompt in answering any question I've had. Speedy delivery of in stock items too. All in all a good eBay'er to deal with. - Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat_mcdermott Posted July 28, 2007 Share #10 Posted July 28, 2007 The 35 Summilux hood works great and, at least in my hands, I haven't noticed a difference turning the aperture ring as compared to the "correct" 28/2 hood. By the way, even on an M6 the 35 'Lux hood doesn't vignette on the 28, nor did I ever notice a decrease in flare resistance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted July 28, 2007 Share #11 Posted July 28, 2007 Cool,,,using the 35 hood on the 28 sure makes the 28 more compact. Any idea how much the 35 lux hood cost plus the cap? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted July 28, 2007 Share #12 Posted July 28, 2007 I answered my own question, they are $89.95 at B&H and that includes the cap if anyone is interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Yoder Posted July 28, 2007 Share #13 Posted July 28, 2007 Will the 'Lux hood permit a 46 UV/IR filter to remain in place? Stan Yoder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravastar Posted July 28, 2007 Share #14 Posted July 28, 2007 Will the 'Lux hood permit a 46 UV/IR filter to remain in place? Stan Yoder Yes. I noticed you said 486 which is B+W. It's a bit tighter to get on with the B+W F-Pro filters compared to the Leica ones, but either fits OK with my hood. Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Yoder Posted July 29, 2007 Share #15 Posted July 29, 2007 Umm, I said "46," meaning 46mm, not 486. And were you referring to the 'Lux hood? Stan Yoder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken R Posted July 29, 2007 Share #16 Posted July 29, 2007 I wish there was a similar solution available for my 24mm asph. Now that would be very nice indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertnl Posted July 29, 2007 Share #17 Posted July 29, 2007 (...) even on an M6 the 35 'Lux hood doesn't vignette on the 28, nor did I ever notice a decrease in flare resistance. Hi Matthew, Is that true, no vignetting with a 35 'lux hood on the 'cron 28 even on ff? The original 28 hood is indeed cumbersome. The one made for the titanium M7 50 years Leica M series a few years ago would be great, but the 'lux 35 at least is a lot better than the 28. BTW: what is your standard equipment for your 212 streetwork? The most things I saw I felt was 35mm on film. I've tried 24 and 50, but that didn't convince me (of course this is my subjective view...). Best regards, Norbert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
