Sorry to be late to the game… and to highjack the thread….  I had a question to that: does your statement mean, that you can use the lens hood of the Apo in the 35 Lux FLE? Looking for a smaller lens hood for my FLE… so the hood of the Apo can be used on other lenses? 

thanks a lot for your help!

Sorry, Andreas, only the other way round. I have just tried it the way you suggested. Result: it is NOT possible to use the 35 APO hood on the 35 LUX FLE. Although the (outer) thread of the hoods are identical, the thread of the LUX FLE is a bit more retracted (same as 21 SEM by the way) in order to make use of the protection ring (only delivered together with the SEM). Thus the 35 APO hood can not be screwed onto the 35 LUX FLE. By the way I am pretty sure even if it fitted on the LUX this would result in heavy vignetting anyway.

Hope this helps...
