Questions & Answers

Shopper : Hi just wondering if this can fit a 3rd generation pre ashpherical 35mm summicron? and will I still be able to use a UV filter? thanksWILLIAM R : Yes it will fit and yes you can use it with a filter The older lenses lack the positioning tab so the hood may not stay aligned on the lensBILL J : YesJOHN B : I have a 35mm type 2 summicron pre aspherical. This hood did not fit it because of its non-removable tabs. I sent it back for a refund.MICHAEL S : It fits on every size 39 Leica lens I've ever tried it in, including older 35mm Summicrons, old 50mm Summicrons and even a 28mm.
KARL W : Can the Leica 12526 hood substitute for the 12524 hood? For the Leica 35 Summicron version IV. Item 11310.MICHAEL S : I don't think so.VP63130 CHAN CH L : Yes, the current 35mm f2 Asph hood will fit the ver4 lens perfectly. I've used it myself.
SINAN G : Hi, I am trying to find appropriate rectangular lens hood for my Voigtlander Nokton 35mm, here <a href="http://www.adorama.com/VT3514.html" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/VT3514.html</a> Would this work? Thank youBENJAMIN L : No, I have a 40 Nokton and this Leica (clip on) hood is not at all compatible with the Nokton bayonet type mount. I actually use this rectangular Leica hood on a 1966 35 Summilux. It will mount to the old Lux but rotates freely so you have to keep it lined up to avoid vignetting. The old Lux has flare problems, so the tight shading is important for image quality. The Nokton on the other hand performs fine with the stock hood.ROBERT K : The Voigtlander lens takes a 43 mm filter and takes a bayonett mounted hood and will not take a clip on lens hood.. The lens hood for the Leica, mine is the for the Leica Summarit 35 mm is screw on and 39 mm filter. The hood for the Elmarit 28 mm is clip on but for a 39 mm filter. I recommend the Voigtlander hood for the Voigtlander lens. I have both the lens and hood on mr Epson Rd-1, for years. Works great and looks great in the street. ROBERT D. J : I believe it will only work for Leica, as the Nokton's barrel is larger. I own the Nokton 35 as well , and have. Voigtlander hood on it that works just fine,VP63130 CHAN CH L : No, this won't fit on the Nokton 35mm.ROBERT L : Unfortunately, you'll need the Voigtlander hood for that lens. The Leica hood has two tabs that project out at the 12:00 and 6:00 positions, which mate into corresponding notches on the latest versions of the 35mm Summicron. If your lens does not have these notches (it appears from the picture that it doesn't), then the hood won't mount (due to the tabs hitting something), or even if it does, it will spin around. The purpose of the tabs is to maintain the hood in its correct orientation at all times, so it won't spin around and vignette the corners.FREDERICK H : I bought a similar hood for a 35mm Lietz Summaron a year ago and have been using it without problems. It is light but robust and causes no interference with my M3 viewfinder.

Hood pops off and damages the barrell

I got this to use on my 35cron ASPH, but the latch mechanism does not secure to the camera well and fall off at the slightest bump. If you plan on actually using your summicron in the streets, this hood will keep pop off and may damage your lens barrel in the process. As far as the good side, on the ASPH it does not rotate, and the rubber lens cap has been good so far.

Rediculous Price

Adorama has the best deal, but at ($), this rectangular lens hood & cap for the 35 'cron is absurdly expensive. There's nothing special about the quality, construction or finish for this item... I'm replacing the original Leica hood that fell apart. Unfortunately, there's no other game in town.

Sturdy, low profile - works on LTM ASPH

I bought this for a 35mm Summicron ASPH in LTM. The LTM version comes with a round hood that Leica sells for $300 as a replacement part if it ever gets damaged. The only issue with the round hood is that it intrudes more into the viewfinder frame of my M7 0.85. So, I bought this hood which goes with the M mount version of the Summicron ASPH. I can understand why Leica offers the round hood, as the thread mount lens my end up at an unusual angle after mounting (with or without an adapter), or when used on an LTM camera. However, my lens ends up with the indexes at 12:00 on my cameras (M7, Canon 7s), so this is my preferred hood for this lens.

Small, unobtrusive, doesn't rotate

I bought a Summicron 35 ASPH in LTM that came with the round 12504 hood. Surprisingly, for a vented hood, with the 12504 there is some viewfinder cutoff at the bottom right corner, from the hood. Also the 12504 requires an almost unobtainable front cap, or a 58mm Nikon style lens cap. Lastly, the replacement value of the 12504 from Leica is $300! Hence, I purchased this hood instead. It is flexible rubber/plastic. The lens already has the alignment notches to prevent the hood from rotating. The hood rests a lot closer to the lens than the 12504. There is still a bit of cutoff of the viewfinder bottom right corner. Others have claimed that the cap falls off easily, but I haven't had a problem with it so far. From my perspective, the $100+ cost of this hood is LESS than that of the 12504 hood. But realistically, it is still an expensive item! However, it seems well made and it is likely to last a lifetime.

Thanks to minor modifications in the lens hood, a redesigned protective cover made of a soft plastic material can be used, which is also very comfortable to carry along. The lens hood can also be used with the foregoing model SUMMICRON-M f/2/35 mm (order number 11310 or 11311). It can be reordered as a replacement (order number 12 526) and comes with the protective cover.
