A friend sold me her 35mm pre-ASPH Summilux but could not find the lens hood. Are there any viable options besides the original?
Thanks, Paul

Hey Paul,
If I remember right, Gabor and Rich C are using the hood for the 35mm summicron asph for the pre-asph. There was a thread on it somewhere.....
Here it is: many guises of the 35mm pre-asph

I'll keep googling. Thanks Mike.

RichC recommended the current cron asph rect hood - 12526 I think, I am now also using this with better results than the round one. I do keep a couple of the round ones with different filters in them for special use, one for UV/IR, and one with R72.

Excellent. My friend said she has series 7 filters (red, yellow) she is going to give me and I'll probably do likewise. Thanks much.

Paul,
to use series VII filters with this lens you need the original 12504 hood. If you want to try the 12526 hood solution, E39 filters will do with that hood but you need to glue an o-ring into that hood to keep filters in place. The rectangular shaped hood reduces flare noticeable better.
Cheers,
Gabor

Hello Gabor,
I'm getting the rectangle hood for everyday shooting. I guess I'll have to file down the prongs that hold it in place re V4. I've purchased an original 12504 from MikeL and I'll use that to hold filters when I use them.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Gabor,
I'm also using the "new" hood for the 35 pre-asph. By the way, what's an o-ring and where can you get that and the 39mm filters? Thanks in advance for the clarification.
My 35 is seeing a lot of action and there's now an accumulation of dust on the lens that my blower can't remove
I was thinking it might be a good idea to add some filters for protection and b&w film experimentation at the same time.

Paul, at the hood itself is no modification necessary to mount it on the 35mm Summilux-M pre-ASPH. Just make sure that it doesn't rotate to freely but mounts tight.
Spec, I bought a black rubber o-ring for this purpose in a hardware shop, about 50mm diameter and cut step-by-step small pieces out of it until it fitted into the hood and above the E39 filter. The filter I found locally (Yodobashi Camera in Sapporo) but they are also plenty from eBay or other camera-shops available.
My setup looks like this:
There is big gap in the o-ring visible because I cut to much away but it doesn't effect anything. I used on of these ultra-fast liquid glues (where one has to pay attention no to glue the fingers together).

I had just tried the 2.0/ASPH hood on mine and it just spins and spins. I shall look for some O-ring.

Very cool. Thank you, Gabor!

it's just hide and seek
That's why I want one for my Zeiss 35/2, but there is no option to fit it on that lens.

thomasw,
To be clear, the last rectangle hood I had for my 35mm Summicrons (V4 & asph) had extended prongs to keep the hood from rotating. Gabor said no modification required (ie, no filing). Do the prongs still allow the rectangle hood to properly mounted?
Thanks -

Thanks Gabor and Thomas for the tips. Since this will be a fairly permanent solution it begs the question which filter to choose for black and white? Any thoughts?

Thomasw, another question is how are you finding the black hair elastics? I've double sided taped mine in place but I find that the hood still shifts a little from being in the bag.

I wound 1 revolution of thin PTFE non adhesive tape in the filter groove. Keeps the hood from rotating, hood grabbers from scratching lens, and allows aperture to move easily (other solutions didn't allow this).

Are you referring to filter color? If so, I prefer med yellow filter for B&W. With red filter you lose a stop.

Thomas, it's okay that you wear hair elastics, no one has a problem with it, it's all good.

Folk seem to have followed my lead in using a Summicron hood for the Summilux 35mm pre-asph (though I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this), so I thought I'd post a few pics of my set-up (excuse poor camera-phone quality).
I've made the following mods to the hood:
• Hole cut to stop hood corner from intruding into the viewfinder (as Leica does on some hoods)
• Four small square pieces of plastic glued inside to stop 39mm filters falling out
• Lens cap held on with a necklace catch (those rubber caps drop off just by looking at them - and the price is ridiculous!) - easily removed and put in pocket for prolonged shooting
• Rear clip-on mount hacksawed off and a 42mm clamp-on mount (reasonably common on eBay) glued on with epoxy - doesn't take long to do, stops the rotation problem entirely, and allows better access to the aperture ring.
As has been said, this hood is a huge improvement for taming flare compared with the original round vented hood - which is totally useless, and even worse when used with filters.
And not only is the Summicron hood more efficient, but the hood and the Summiccron pre-asph is an amazingly compact combination, esp. considering that it's an f1.4 lens.
Last but not least, I don't have to buy girlie hair elastics!
