Advertisement Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Hi Steven, Take a look here Missing part in my 28 Summilux. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Well, you could get in touch with Leica directly and ask whether they can provide such a ring. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the lens without the hood mainly because it makes it 30% smaller, and also because I think it looks better. FYI, I use ALLL my lenses without hood. Even before Leica, I've never put a hood in my life as I find them big and cumbersome 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't provide a ring as the lens is intended to be used with the hood, this was discussed on this forum a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you could get in touch with Leica directly and ask whether they can provide such a ring. There is a way towards the outer ring solution. Ask Overgaard to fabricate keyed ring without outer hood shade. Alternatively buy Overgaard hood and cut off the outer shade, a good DIY person could certainly do it, people used to chop off petals from built in hoods on Voigtlander wides, also Nikon DX fisheye. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junix Posted January 23, 2021 Share #26 Posted January 23, 2021 Is the missing part supposed to be silver or black? I suppose you bought a black one as I can still see 2x silver 28mm Summiluxes available in HK.. btw, thnx for the heads up that the 28mm slx doesn't come with a decorative ring, I feel your pain.

I bought the black one because the silver one had 2,7k import tax on top of the price. So 10k total instead of 6,5k. Not worth it. so my ring is supposed to be black.

I'm probably going to get a black one too later during the year.. unless I fly to HK soon, I used to be in HK a couple of times per year before Covid19.

Gelatino Posted January 23, 2021 Share #29 Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) This http://camerapix.co.uk/index.php?id_product=170&controller=product is not exactly identical to the genuine one but it should do the job for 1/4th of the price.

I must have been confusing the 21mm and 28mm summilux. I checked the 28mm pouch; the end foam, which had secret storage on other lenses, is glued down. The 28mm ring looks like this ; i.e. just a gap filler for the inner front. Welcome, dear visitor!

That link is for 49mm ring that screws into Lux 28mm filter thread. This is about replacement ring for the outer screw thread where the lens hood goes, that thread size is bigger than 49mm.

mmradman Posted January 23, 2021 Share #35 Posted January 23, 2021 Somr assumptions need clarification. Both Lux 28 and 35 FLE are supplied with screw in rectangular metal lens hood, also both lenses are supplied with additional ring. For Lux 28 the ring has 49mm thread and it is screwed where Lens filter goes. The lens hood thread is between 52 and 55mm, I checked against standard filter threads. To best of my knowledge Leica does not supply substitute ring for lens hood. For Lux 35 the ring is substitute for the lens hood. The picture illustrates relationship between rings and original lens hoods, on 28 lens the ring drops into the hood, smaller than 52mm while on 35 lens it is same diameter as threaded part.

What a pity that there is no substitute ring for the hood of the 28 Lux. Very cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwesi Posted January 23, 2021 Share #37 Posted January 23, 2021 So for the 28 lux Leica assumes you will not use it with a filter but will use it with a hood while on the 35FLE Leica assumes you will use it with a filter and a hood. Meanwhile in the land of the 50 1/1.4 Black Chrome you cannot use a filter with the supplied hood. I would love to be a fly on the wall when these "top secret" decisions are being made. Im sure there is much fist shaking and yelling late into the night.😀 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so, a 49mm standard height filter fits just fine under the hood on the 28 'lux Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
