Or the 12518 rubber hood for 40/2 & 40/2.8 lenses when i take a small bag.

spydrxx Posted August 29, 2019 Share #26  Posted August 29, 2019 Total heretic, but if you can't find a chrome one which suits you, only black, you can always use a chrome spray paint, then fill the markings in black. I've never done this on Leica gear, but have on some Canon LTM gear where black just didn't work (no I'm not a fashionista, but....).😆 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maarten Posted August 29, 2019 Share #28 Â Posted August 29, 2019 Thorsten Overgaard is selling a chrome (colored) screw-in type as well (here). I use several e-bay hoods for different lenses in different sizes. Like this one. The quality is okay and the price is a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedaes Posted August 29, 2019 Share #29  Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) I was ??? enough to buy one of Thorsten's lens hoods out of interest. They come in a lovely box, with a lovely little soft pouch, and a lovely lens cloth, and a quality step-up ring (not sure what for - I think for different size fillters as they have a filter thread built in). The actual hood is slightly deeper than the e-bay versions, but apart from that I have to say the 'quality' is indistinguishable.
