Stealth3kpl Posted May 11, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) I would try to reshape it with my thumbs. It's a poor hood, and I tend to use something like this instead Pete Edited May 11, 2020 by Stealth3kpl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted May 11, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 11, 2020 Send it to a reputed Leica repair shop. They will remove the hood (not too difficult), reshape it or replace it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's metal, that is why it bent and didn't bounce back like ABS. A repair guy will fix it for you, otherwise do as suggested, push it back to almost a round shape and instead use a metal hood from eBay.
