90/4 Elmar Collapsible lens hood?

[Artorius]

I will be receiving this lens soon, and am wondering which lens shade/hood? I have also read conflicting reports about whether it works on the M6. I guess if I wouldn't be able to use it on the 6 I would be able to use it on my 3.

I use the 12575N hood which is the same one used on the 135mm f/4 Tele-Elmar.

Can I use my 12585 hood?

The 12585 just isn't big enough, it suits 35mm as well as 50mm. The fit on the lens is the same though. The beauty of the bigget tele hood 12575 is that it fits over the lens reversed. Even when collapsed. It also fits over the Elmarit and Tele-Elmarits.
Watch out for fogging. Usually easy to clean in these great oldies.

cheers, Rob.

Thanks for the info. By big enough, do you mean deeper/longer? I do have both hoods, but prefer the 12585. The lens is from Tony Rose, and was recently CLA'd, said to be very clean.
