Lens hoods for V2/V3 35mm Cron

[IanH]

Hi all,

I have a Canadian V2 35mm Cron. I was wondering if it’s possible to fit the v4 pre-ASPH rectangular hood? I prefer it over the circular hood. Purely aesthetic whim - I’m shallow.

Alternatively, could people recommend a 3rd party rectangular compact hood for this lens? I’d prefer metal to plastic, but open  to ideas.

 

thanks,

 

Ian

Possible with some customizing ...

The Summicron IV 's hood 12524/12526 has a tab to prevent it turning mounted on the lens.

The 2/35 IV has the V shape cut out to accept it.

None of the 35mm Cron I/II/III has this cut-out so you may shave the hood's tab, but this can turn mounted on the lens, I put a rubber band on the groove,

to prevent it turning.

 

We can see here the "thing" to prevent the hood from rotating

Thanks @a.noctilux,

I used to have that hood on my v1 35mm cron ASPH, I didn’t realise it was from the v4. Thanks for the modification tip too.

12524 was regular hood for Summicron-M 35mm pre-asph (version IV).

By then, no cap for hood was available.

The hood was mildly modified to accept the 14043 hood rubber cap when Summicron-M 2/35 Asph. came with order number 12526 hood.
