The lens and the hood bring more money than the camera.

Indeed they do. Sadly the hood cannot be used with the Amedeo adapters as they turn the whole lens.
I like my Nokton a lot shooting b/w with my Leicas. Bit of a specialty lens due to its character and size compared to other fast 50s of the era. But that makes it stand out (in the truest sense of the word).
Kevin's LTM collection is as always marvellous.

I bought a Prominent with 50mm f/1.5 Nokton for a pittance. I didn't realize the adapters were so expensive, at least the ones I've seen. Still looking for one that doesn't cost me 5x what I paid for the lens! The Prominent needs a CLA so I'm not interested in shooting it on that camera.

I was incredibly lucky (twice) back about 20 years ago when I bought the Prominent I later found the correct hood in a camera store for $10. It got sold when I sold the Prominent. About 2 years ago I was attending a camera fair and a chap there was selling a box of lens hoods (some metal some plastic) for $1 per hood. In the box was one of these hoods. Again I got very lucky. I no longer own a Prominent or any of its lenses but the hood, can be used on other 49mm lenses.
