Seems like a solid product. Sweet! Excited to hear what you think! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Hi corky87, Take a look here Leica 35mm Summilux pre-ASPH mod. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

It looks great on the lens, feels solid and is much more compact compared to the 12504 hood. You can use it without the hood part, but then there is no white index dot so it is harder to know the aperture selected. I guess you could add a small white dot with some paint. The included 43mm filter is very thin and I have not noticed any vignetting. Haven't tried any other filters yet since it a bit difficult to change filter. You have to unscrew the screws that hold the hood in place using the tiny tool provided. Then you can swap filter and put the hood back on. -Thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a video from Squarehood that shows how to attach it -  I only have one photo of it so far.  Welcome, dear visitor!

Looks great, very small footprint and a more pleasurable experience when it comes to adjusting the aperture I’m sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of comparisons without the hood and then with the hood on. Left to right: SR re-issue, pre-asph v2 with Squarehood adapter, Summicron ASPH.  Welcome, dear visitor!

Definately bigger than the SR but still decently low profile without the hood Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisberg Posted August 7 Share #31 Â Posted August 7 I have to say I'm a bit disappointed that I can't find a 43mm filter that does not vignette other than the super thin one that ships with the hood. This means I can't really use this if I want to use a yellow or ND filter. I have to revert to using the series VII filters with the original hood. -Thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them on their products page but on the lens hood description for the Summilux, it clearly says it, might be worth an email to them.

NAvalanche Posted August 15 Share #33  Posted August 15 I have used this and got a few developed films back which now are scanned. I dont notice any vignetting from usung this hood. Im very satisfied with the product. I also feel way more safe about banging the lens into something when Im tipsy in a bar with the camera around my neck. 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
