Sonnar2 Posted November 17, 2021 Share #1 Â Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I very much like the Elmarit-TL but it flares noticeably with backlight (indeed more than most of my Fuji APS-C lenses). Due to its very short size the front lens is very exposed to the sun, probably a short hood would help out. I would prefer something small which can be covered with the original Leica cap, or a hood that come with its own cap. Unfortunately Leica don't offer something like that for the 18/2.8. Any suggestions? Edited November 17, 2021 by Sonnar2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guytou Posted November 17, 2021 Share #2  Posted November 17, 2021 There is an entry for the TL 18mm sun visor at the bottom of page 3. Personally, I use this one : https://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?TSID=129101&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.fr%2FPare-soleil-objectif-dappareil-nettoyage-dobjectif%2Fdp%2FB06XC37NTV&dtb=1  Guytou  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnar2 Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share #3 Â Posted November 17, 2021 Thanks Guytou. The Leica 12250 hood fulfills my requirements perfectly. I try to buy one < 100,-. The (cheaper) Heliopan looks good as well, but seems to be a bit shorter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickP Posted November 17, 2021 Share #4  Posted November 17, 2021 I use B&W or Heliopan. Always high quality  with  accurate threads.  https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/800620-REG/Heliopan_73019H_39_mm_Metal_Lens.html  1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted November 18, 2021 Share #6  Posted November 18, 2021 The original hood of the collapsible Elmar-M might be just the thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickP Posted November 21, 2021 Share #7  Posted November 21, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Heliopan 39 mm short hood showed up yesterday.  Just right imo for the 18mm Elmarit... plus-the original Leica lens cap fits fine.  Please excuse Ipad photo.. I am down to one camera body only.. which is a good thing.LOL     Welcome, dear visitor!
