Does anybody know if the 35mm Summilux pre-ASPH with 12504 hood fits into the 2.75" lens case?

These measures are listed on an eBay ad: "Usable height inside is 2.00" (5.08 cm)  Top internal ring diameter 2.36" (6.00 cm)  Bottom internal ring diameter 2.50" (6.35 cm)". It sounds like it might fit, even though it's not made for this lens.

Has anyone tried if it fits inside such a case, or is there another one that fits better?

Out of curiosity as I've never put my Summilux-M 35mm pre-asph in a case.

I have a case which came with my 50mm Summilux-pre-asph

case 86mm tall.

I put the 35mm with hood 12504 and rear cap, it was just the right size !

With rear cap up ok, but with hood up not as right, strange.

Padded foam hole at top is not large enough.

...

12504 hood wide circa 65mm, whole set "cap lens hood" long 62mm

your linked case may be a bit short ...

Thank you! I also have such a case for my 50mm Summilux pre-ASPH, and for all my other lenses, that's why I wanted one for my 35mm Summilux pre-ASPH as well. I tried to put it in the case for the 50mm, but I think the bottom hole is a bit too small, about 5 cm, while, as you say, the lens hood is about 6,5 cm. The case in the ad seems to have a wider bottom hole, but as you say, it's probably too short. The 35mm Summilux pre-ASPH with hood is a bit longer than I thought, only 0,5 cm shorter than the 50mm. 

But maybe I should look after another 50mm case, because it fits in a way, and maybe I can manage to make the bottom hole a bit wider.

I just wonder: The outer height of the lens case in the ad is 7 cm. How can it be that the "usable height inside" is only 5 cm? Wouldn't it be possible to press the padded foam enough to force a 6 cm lens into it? The other measures seem to fit perfectly.

Ernst,

If you're considering buying it beware of the $18.5 p&p charge. 😬

Pete.

I can live with that, or I can wait until I find a similar case that is cheaper. 

I asked the seller if he thinks the case will fit, but he probably doesn't know. So I would be grateful if someone here had a similar case and lens and could try it.

Thanks! The ads say nothing about the interior size though. I'm not sure if any of these will fit.

I don't think any will fit if you want to leave the hood on.  My guess is that you could try a 50mm Summicron case and remove some foam, as the internal ring diameters are not going to like the hood.  Or use a 35mm Summicron case and leave the hood off.
