Does anyone know of a source for an aftermarket screw-in metal lens hood for my CV35/2.5? I'd like to find one that's larger than the one supplied with the lens. I think it's 40.5mm, but I could be wrong.

TIA, Don
 
The filter fit is 39mm, but the filter fits INSIDE the hood, and is visibly smaller diameter than the ID of the hood. I'd have thought that SOMEBODY besides me would have liked to put another hood on the classic 35. That IS a nice item, Chris...I might buy it just for the hell of it...

There's also the very good chance that I'm wrong...

Regards!
Don

Just curious.....why do you want to replace the factory hood?

Hi, Gary!

Frankly, it's because I manage to get a finger in the frame more often than I want. I figure that if I get a hood that's a bit more extended, it'll keep me from photographing my finger as often. It doesn't happen with my other lenses, 'cause they protrude further away from the body. Consider it prophylactic equipment addition...

Regards!

Hi Don, I have the screw mount CV35mm f2.5. If you remove the supplied hood (which screws onto external threads around the lens), you can simply screw a 39mm threaded hood onto the normal internal filter threads of the lens. I like the compact size of this (and the 50f2.5) lens however, without such a hood.
