Alternative Lens Hood...?

I recently purchased a 75/2.5 Summarit-M and was surprised at the lack of lens hoods (#12460) available. For those of you in similar circumstances what, if any, substitutes do you use?

 

Thanks in advance,

Hello Bob,

Congratulation on your choice of this very nice 75mm that I was surprise of it's good rendering.

At first I wanted 2.4/75mm (for the 70cm MFD in place of 90cm of the 2.5/75), but the 2.4 never came as sh.

The seller told me that hood for this Summarit-M 2.5/75 or 2.5/35/50 was an option, and the ex-owner never had the hood.

 

Never mind, I do have some E46 screw-in hoods that fit nicely the 75mm.

With time as I use colored filters and unscrew/screw-in the hood/filter was not so practical, I just use the lens without hood.

So I suggest that you use this 75mm without hood at first then if need be find E46 noname screw-in hood (most lengths will do, no vignetting in my case with 1.5cm to 3.5cm long hoods).

Amaud,

Thanks. I am very pleased with this lens and confess to an odd tic of mine. I just get a little nuts unless I have a proper lens hood. And I'm open to other solutions.

Your input I appreciated.

I use some rubber screw in hoods as alternative for the original ones.

I have the lens and hood, which lives on the lens. I guess there are many hoodless lenses out there, because not all owners bothered to buy a hood. My advice is to get a substitute  hood, preferably one recommended here. IQ will be slightly improved and the front element spared potential damage.

Any hood matching filter size and for 50 mm lens you could find and like on eBay.

I have bunch of MIC hoods from eBay and they are fine. It just free delivery which takes long time.
