Hi everyone,
Are there any alternative hoods for the 50mm rigid, rather than the standard leica hood:
* if I am using it with a filter attached
* prefer something in chrome
The following thread suggests that without a filter, the Elmar-M hood works without vignetting: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136635&highlight=50mm+summicron+rigid but I usually have a yellow filter on all my lenses.
Do people find that without a hood, they get a lot of flare with this lens?
Finally, with a filter on the lens and no hood, I've found that the lens cap is quite loose. Does anyone have a nifty trick to make the cap stay on?
Thanks for your help!
