Where to buy Voigtländer LH-9 Hood for my Summilux 35mm 1.4 FLE within EU

After debating with myself and posting a thread here as well whether to buy or not, I have found a mint FLE which is on the way home to me.

As I find the FLE hood very large, I have seen the Voigtländer LH-9 hood to fit very well. Can anyone share where to find within the EU? Have searched to no avail.

Thanks,

 

Patrik

Probably, not from stock, but a dealer might be able to order, although the hood is not listed any more.

You could try this reputed dealer:

And this is the list of distributors:

Thanks!'

They did come up when searching.

Did ask the Swedish distributor, but will email this dealer as well, will try and figure out as all in Dutch.

But why not use this hood?

I guess it could work, doesn't say what focal length though, another option is the Hauge versions which I assume is similar, but they don't specify focal length either.

[jaapv]

That is not very important, beyond extreme wideangle, wideangle, standard or tele. Leica used to make their hoods fit multiple focal lengths, like 35-50 and so do other lens brands. This one looks like 28-35 and is cheap enough to be worth a try.
The focal length is not the only restriction, as the location of the front element in the barrel is equally of influence.

Thanks for the tip! I wasnt aware that the Voigtländer hood fit the FLE. 

[Patrik]

You're welcome! Found ofcourse that info on this forum! 😁

[evikne]

I would probably mask the Voigtländer logo though. 😉

Black electrical tape or twist hood....

Heliopan make a 46mm short hood - simple tube - which I have wondered about. Should be effective and not intrusive.

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

[elmars]

what about this one. It is the 35/50 mm Summarit hood and fits well on the FLE.
