Mucleica Posted June 18, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 18, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dear community, Do you think that this lenshood at its lowest level is suited for a 35mm Summaron? thanks for your help Welcome, dear visitor!

Anbaric Posted June 18, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 18, 2022 On some versions of the FIKUS, the lowest line (unlabelled on yours) is marked for the 3.5 cm Elmar: https://opinionateddesigner.com/2015/09/03/miniature-masterpiece-leica-fikus-universal-lens-hood/ I don't think they otherwise changed the design, so yours should work with that lens but not necessarily with other 35mm lenses. In previous discussions, Summaron users have reported that this hood vignettes. There is of course a dedicated hood for the Summaron, 'FOOKH' (a similar word is sometimes muttered by prospective purchasers when they see the price it usually sells for). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willeica Posted June 19, 2022 Share #3 Posted June 19, 2022 The IROOA is the best hood for the 1950s M and LTM f2.8 and f3.5 mount Summarons https://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/IROOA William 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FOOKH is A36, for the earlier lenses (which I'd assumed Mucleica has, since the FIKUS above is also A36). The IROOA is for the E39 versions. Unfortunately the IROOA isn't cheap either. The FIKUS is that rare thing, a (usually) reasonably priced classic Leica accessory. A shame it doesn't seem to be suitable for the A36 Summarons.

It wasn't clear which 35mm Summaron was being referenced. I have the earlier version as well as several of the later models. I associate the FOOKH, which I also have in both chrome and black versions, more with the 3.5cm Elmar, but it should work on the earlier Summaron. If my memory does not do me a disservice, I believe that I have two different versions of the IROOA, one with a wide collar and another with a narrow collar and I seem to remember that one works better with the Summaron than the other, but I cannot recall which one. The IROOA works fine with a Canon35mm LTM lens which I have. As is obvious from my comments, I need to do a bit of a stock take on my lens hoods.

Pyrogallol Posted June 20, 2022 Share #6 Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Just try it out and see. The result may be different at f3.5 and f16. These are the ones I use. There is more choice in the E39 size. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

William Oddly, the Wiki page on the FOOKH has an 'Elmar' hood that looks longer than the others (even if the scales of the photos are a bit different). Is it actually a FLQOO, or did Leica use the FOOKH code for hoods of different lengths? https://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/FOOKH https://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/FLQOO A longer Elmar-specific hood fits with the FIKUS being usable with the Elmar, but not the Summaron. The 'Summaron-Elmar' FOOKH hoods were obviously usable with both lenses, but were they less effective with the Elmar than the longer hoods? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Summaron-Elmar' FOOKH hoods were obviously usable with both lenses, but were they less effective with the Elmar than the longer hoods? I need to check. I have a chrome FOOKH which actually came with a Summar and I have an earlier black hood for a 35mm Elmar, which could indeed be a FLQOO. I really need to do that stocktake! Below are some photos of various hoods which I have in my collection. The photo immediately below shows the black hood with 'brassing' for the 3.5 cm in the centre. I believe that it is a FLQOO rather than a FOOKH, as I said earlier. There is a chrome FOOKH at front right. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! The next photo shows a group of FISONS with the rare one with a square front on the left. The last three show various other hoods with the lenses for which they were intended. The second photo shows the IROOA with the 3.5 cm Summaron with goggles The hoods for the 2.8cm f5.6 Summaron, example seen on the left above, were selling for huge prices, particularly if they had boxes, at the Leitz Auction in Wetzlar recently. A dealer, who was there, told me that he could not sell them himself for lower prices at the Bievres camera fair a week earlier. Thanks for the earlier points which you have made about hoods. Instead of doing a stocktake of my hoods it was easier for me just to pull out old photos of my own hoods. I'm happy to answer any queries. I have picked these up in all sorts of ways, with lenses, on their own or in job lots.

willeica Posted June 20, 2022 Share #10 Posted June 20, 2022 And just one more. I believe that is the FLQOO at the right front in this photo. Welcome, dear visitor!

madNbad Posted June 20, 2022 Share #11 Posted June 20, 2022 At one time I had a 35 3.5 Summaron and a Chiyoko Super Rokkor 45 2.8. The FOOKH hood would fit both of them but with the Rokkor I could use the little knob for mounting the hood to adjust the aperture ring. When it was on the M6 TTL, once the shutter speed was set, it was a simple matter of turning the hood until the correct exposure diode lit up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nf3996 Posted June 21, 2022 Share #13 Posted June 21, 2022 Given the rarity (and price) of many original hoods these days, when out photographing I tend to leave mine at home and make do with a combination of adapters and modern (and cheaper) hoods, which I wouldn't mind bashing or losing so much.

Alan Even the classic A36 lens to E39 filter adapter (SOOGZ) has now become very expensive. Someone should really copy that one, because it gives you access to a wide range of filters and hoods. But I see that some of the ebay accessory sellers from China are now offering screw clamp A36 hoods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
