Canon LTM Attention Canon 1.5 LTM owners: got shade?

Canon M39 M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
Kevin is nuts.......

I won mine for $27 and I thought I was paying too much.

Here is what you do. Find a $2 Kodak Series VI hood, and a beat up ugly Canon 50/1.9 hood for under $10. Why two? Take the 42mm slip on adaptor ring off the Canon hood, then throw the hood away. Screw that adaptor into the Kodak, and now you have a hood for all your 40mm Canon lenses, your Jupiter 8, Sonnars, I bet it will fit on a Summarit.......
 
I wonder who buys stuff at this price where sellers thing they can get it. Must be rich collectors. After seeing what the shade for the F0.95 went for, I guess you can't blame them for trying. I like my Walz vented hood better.
 
Well, Canon did produce a different hood for every lens is seems, so it is an issue to have the proper one for a collector. You do not see the 50/1.5 hoods too often, mine was miss classified on ebay which may explain the low price I paid. I don't know, the other options seem really good to me when it comes to hoods when I see Kevin's prices.
 
Noo, you don't mean that... 140 USD, this is crazy... I have to secure mine to the camera for not losing it... paid 35 plus shipment, money enough. Are we going the snob way like with Nikon RF stuff?

What can go wrong if using the 1.8-50 shade instead of?

;)
 
Canon also made a screw - in hood for the 50mm/ 1.5. I don't know if they would fetch $140.00 these days, ..but you never know.
 
I thought so. There must be buyers for these things at these prices (mainly "amateur" Leica collectors?) that are spoiling it for the rest of us, the ones that actually need and use these things.
 
then I sell all my Canon stuff and go into Pentax early SLR completely. Nice stuff too, and low priced yet...

people are not so crazy as some might think. There was a 2.0/100mm Canon RF lens for (gasp!) 1000 USD fix price in ebay two times, but still not sold. ebay offering fees will make some overheated sellers coming close to reality sooner or later.

Well, I bid $55 for one of those recently on eBay, and got outbid. (No case, and not pristine like Kevin's.) I've certainly been outbid by Kevin under his buying avatar (kinche-l) on quite a few items over the years. He's a smart eBay shopper.
 
I thought they don't allow different users for the same person? I wanna see in the feedback which articles a seller have bought, his buyers feedback, and v.v.! One can see it at mine as well! Different rules for professionals here??

cheers, Frank
 
Oh, the rectangular hoods for the 50/1.8 and 50/1.9 are perfectly functional on the 50/1.5 lens. I've noticed no problem.

I suppose that they could cause some subtle vignetting, since the 50/1.5 shade is funky in using a Series VII filter on a 40mm shade. Or maybe a slight loss of speed wide open. But I'm not using this lens for speed outside.

From mocking the 50/1.5 hood up with a 40mm Series VI adapter and VI to VII step-up ring (and the hood from the 85/2.0), I can tell that the "correct" hood is rather of a viewfinder eater. Of course, I use a IV-SB2, where the viewfinder window is close to the lens, the V, VI, and 7 probably are less bothered by this hood. (After all, people find the 50/1.4 lens acceptable on them.)
 
What we need is to have Heavystar make a hood available in 40mm! They are available in 39mm and 40.5mm for $14.95.
 
Photodog,

Agreed. I wonder if it would be possible to convince him to do that as a special run... I's love a few for my 40mm thread lenses. I have one in 43mm for my Nikkor 1.4 and I think it is a very nice product, especially at 14.95.

Hi guys,

I apologise for digging up such an old thread, but I'm looking around for this hood and the correct adaptor.

Does anyone knows if any other lenses uses the same Series VII adaptor (screw) or 42mm Type B (Clamp on) so that I may widen my search?

Thanks in advance for any helpful comments that you may have.

Cheers,

Here are some adaptor rings, 42mm included. I just searched "Series VI" on ebay.

Thanks rover. Tried that but without success earlier.

Was specifically looking for a threaded 40mm to Series VII or a clamp 42mm to Series VII. Was thinking of buying it off another hood if other lenses are using the same adaptor.

Cheers,
 
search *bay for '40mm hood' and you'll find a hood that is attached to a 43-40m step up ring for sale...

i managed to find a 40mm Hoya for $15 a few weeks back... just received it (sent from South America) and it's great.. NIB and fits perfectly...
 
FWIW, I found a 40-43mm step up ring at B&H, to which I attach a generic 43mm hood, for use on my Canon 50/1.5. Works just fine. I've got the authentic clamp-on hood for the 50/1.8 which is nice, but can get bumped off. The screw-in hoods work better, in my experience.
