DSR Posted November 24, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 24, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi: Infrequent poster but long-time lurker with a question.... I have the Voigtlander 28mm f/1.9 Ultron that I use on my M8. Great lens, but a lens hood that stinks and that has now broken. Has anyone found a good alternative lens hood that fits the Ultron (with filter mounted) ? Many thanks for any ideas! Good Holidays to those in the U.S. DSR <<< (who loves his M8 but lives in fear of sudden death) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean_reid Posted November 24, 2007 Share #2 Posted November 24, 2007 If you can find one, Konica made a 46 mm threaded hood which is vented. It works beautifully on the 28 Ultron. Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted November 24, 2007 Share #3 Posted November 24, 2007 Worth looking at items sold by HeavyStar on ebay - excellent selection of hoods and step up/down rings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSR Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted November 25, 2007 Thanks Sean and Mark.... Found a 46mm vented hood from HeavyStar that looks to be a good fit on the Ultron on the M8. Many thanks for the leads. Best, DSR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSR Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted November 26, 2007 Hi Sean: eBay.... Search 46mm hood and several being sold by "heavyStar" ought to pop up. Several are listed as being for Contax rangefinders, others have no lens specified, and one was indicated for a 35mm 'lux (not so different than the 28mm Ultron on the M8). The photos all looked identical. Cost was nominal so went ahead and bought. Will test once it arrives. Best, DSR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
