jmdco Posted December 29, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 29, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everybody, The lens hood N°12526 on my Summicron 35mm f/2 M Aspheric is broken. This lens hood is no longer manufactured. If someone has experience of another lens hood that works perfectly with the Summicron M Aspheric 35mm f/2, can communicate the reference of the object, I thank him warmly in advance.

Advertisement Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Hi jmdco, Take a look here Lens hood n°12526 for the Summicron 35mm f / 2 M Aspherical. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
a.noctilux Posted December 29, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 29, 2019 Hello Jean-Marc, searching hit this one ( no idea if this is fine, no experience with this hood) ... I use for some years the screw-in vented hoods on my 35mm, like this one right orientation may be fine-tuned with thin homemade cardboard rings E52 caps can be used on these hoods Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexGig0 Posted December 29, 2019 Share #3 Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Try Popflash Photo, in the USA. Popflash.com , or the Ebay store. There seem to be three available, as I type this. I have no personal affiliation with this seller, other than as a paying customer. Edited December 29, 2019 by RexGig0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted December 29, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 29, 2019 Leica made a variety of clip-on lens hoods for 39mm internal/42mm external lens barrels, over 50+ years. The following designations should fit the same lenses as the 12526 12524 (virtually identical to 12526) - these are getting hard to find also 12504 (circular, vented, metal, no hood cap, although a little trial and error may find something that fits) 12585 (circular, vented, listed/marked as for both 50mm or 35mm - test for vignetting!) IROOA (old catalog system) or 12571 (metal, round, no vents, also listed as for either 50mm or 35mm) Rather too bad that this signature rectangular hood (dating to 1980) has been discontinued - cries out for some entrepreneur with a 3D printer to get to work! It might be worth checking with your national (or nearest) Leica-owned service center/importer (or Wetzlar) to see if they are available as replacement parts, rather than retail-store items. But for this popular lens type, even that supply may be vanishing rapidly.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To complete adan's list above 12585H is the same as 12585 and 12538 is its plastic version (pics). Excellent bumper with two holes instead of three on both 12585 and 12585H. Welcome, dear visitor!

a.noctilux Posted December 30, 2019 Share #10 Posted December 30, 2019 In the past, I've tried out the hoods 12585 / H and 12538 (because I have them for my 50mm and marked on some not all "2/35") on Summicron-M 35mm "IV", vignetting at corners. I understood that "2/35" label on the hood 12585 was for 2/35 "I" to 'III" then I've tried out on those no vignetting on them. I've never tried hoods 12585/12538 on Summicron-M 2/35 asph. while I had them, so Jean-Marc you may try them to see if there is vignetting. Wiki about 12585 " ... Variants 12585H version (shown) lists 6 lenses; 12585 version lists 5 lenses without 35mm 1:2 " opposed to... This 12585 no more 2/35 marking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmdco Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted December 30, 2019 Thank you a.noctilux, From all the information received here, it's the 12585h that interests me by its metal construction and its cap, without forgetting my facility to find one in good condition. If someone has already tried the 12585h with the Summicron 35mm M asph f/2 version 5 manufactured between 1997 and 2016, I take his feedback. With pleasure 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted December 30, 2019 Share #12 Posted December 30, 2019 Aside from markings, i'm unable to perceive the least difference between 12585 and 12585H hoods. As for markings, all 12585H hoods list 6 lenses AFAIK, whereas some 12585 hoods list 6 lenses and others only 5 (pics) don't ask me why. BTW none of my 12585, 1258H and 12538 hoods cause significant vignetting on my Summicron 35/2 aph v1. Same on my Summicron 35/2 v4 BTW. As for caps, none of those hoods can be reversed on either 35mm lens so the only caps available for them are lens caps, not hood caps sorry. Welcome, dear visitor!

a.noctilux Posted December 30, 2019 Share #13 Posted December 30, 2019 Front cap of 12585/H can be found easy or not 🤞. Lct, if you happen to have somewhere E52 cap "spring push-on", try to cap the front 12585 hood. Here, some Nikon E52 caps work well and other older Nikon E52 caps not so well.

jmdco Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share #14 Posted December 30, 2019 For vignetting, everything will depend on the version of the lens. Some versions have a different length compared to others, which can, with the opening, influence the vignetting. Without forgetting if the lens hood works correctly by protecting the front lens and by stopping the light rays. This is its main function. The 12585h is not the original lens hood for the Summicron V5. I never liked the 12526. Too large and too fragile. The question is what is the best replacement lens hood for the summicron V5. The 12585h clearly indicates the 35mm f2. Ok. But which version of Summicron with certainty? This is my big questioning at the end of the year.😁 Regarding the cap, it is only used for transportation. As said a.noctilux, I will find a parade. Depardon has always said that photography is DIY 😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted December 30, 2019 Share #15 Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Only Leica hood cap i know of is 14033/OROBI (pic). Can be used on 12585, 12585H and 12538 hoods in reverse position. Problem is those hoods cannot be reversed on either Summicron 35/2 asph v1 or 35/2 v4 lenses. So there is no Leica hood cap available for those lenses i'm afraid. I mean besides that of the rectangular 12526 hood of course. As for vignetting, see my post # 12 above. Welcome, dear visitor!

lct Posted December 30, 2019 Share #16 Posted December 30, 2019 Among non Leica solutions, Fujifilm sells an inexpensive center pinch snap-on ø39 front lens cap which fits well on both Summicrons 35/2 v4 and 35/2 asph v1 lenses with or without 12585, 12585H or 12538 hoods. Been using this Fuji cap for many years so i can recommend it w/o reservation. Welcome, dear visitor!

jmdco Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share #17 Posted December 30, 2019 It's good news. But luckily I still have the original 39mm cap. Despite this, I like this information because these little things are important during transport and they can quickly get lost. Conclusion of our discussions: the 12585h and the original cap seem to be the solution. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conclusion of our discussions: the 12585h and the original cap seem to be the solution. I'm afraid not. You cannot use both 12585 (or 12585H) hoods and Leica lens caps at the same time on the same lens. Only solutions i know of are the rectangular plastic 12526 hood with its dedicated hood cap, or any 12585, 12585H or 12538 hood with the Fujifilm lens cap above or any other center pinch snap-on ø39 front lens cap like that of Voigtlander ø39 lenses but the Fuji cap feels easier to pinch to me.

jmdco Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share #19 Posted December 30, 2019 Well it's perfect. It will then be the Leica 12585 (H or not) with the Fujifilm lens cap. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephengv Posted December 30, 2019 Share #20 Posted December 30, 2019 I use the 12504 on my 35 summicron asph. I love it more than the clip on hood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
