Hi everyone! I just got the lovely Elmarit 28mm lens used (4th version, pre-ASPH). However it did not come with a hood. Can anyone suggest or recommend one for me? Third party is fine since original ones are expensive and/or hard to find. Thanks!

The Leica 12589 hood also fits this lens or you could get a 46mm screw-in metal hood from ebay like this one - https://www.ebay.com/itm/264632460681

This is what I use for my 28 mm Summicron. It works great and is compact. The original is in a draw somewhere- too cumbersome. 
I know that if I drop the lens I risk damaging the filter thread, so I try no to drop it.

Or, if you can find one, a GG-1 screw-in metal hood originally for Contax G Zeiss 28mm f/2.8 Biogon. I use one, made by Kiwi, on my 28/2.8 IV works fine much smaller than the original Leica one. And i can't recall flair issues while using the GG-1, nor the original one, with the 28/2.8 IV.

The five following Leica hoods work fine on the Summicron 28/2 asph v1 in my experience. Same on Elmarit 28/2.8 v4 AFAIK but i have no experience with the latter. PLease ask if you're after some pics of those hoods. 
1. Leica 12451: Big plastic rectangular hood dedicated to 28/2 asph v1 and 28/2.8 v4.
2. Leica 12466: Medium sized metal round hood dedicated to 35/1.4 asph pre-FLE, 28/2 asph v1 and 28/2.8 v4. Nice, expensive, difficult to find. Gets a bit in the way when turning the aperture ring.
3. Leica 12547: Big plastic rectangular hood dedicated to 28/2.8 v4.
4. Leica 12588: Medium sized plastic rectangular hood dedicated to 35/1.4 aspherical. My favorite but tends to fall off too easily.
5. Leica 12589: Medium sized plastic rectangular hood dedicated to 35/1.4 asph pre-FLE. Same as 12588 with a locking ring. More secure but the locking ring tends to get in the way when turning the aperture ring.

@lct or others. I have a 28mm 2.8 v4 that I recently acquired. Which of the above hoods would you recommend? I might prefer something small and relatively available with minimal viewfinder blockage when I need to mount the hood.

Thank you kindly.

12588 or 12589 according to my post #8 above. Happy snaps :)

I ended up getting the Haoge LH-B46P for my Elmarit 28mm v4 and it looks GREAT! Amazing fit and quality, and only 50 dollars.
