I have a Summar with a filter more or less permanently attached to avoid ever having to clean the front element. The filter is the same diameter as lens.

Can I mount a Fison hood on it and slide it back far enough that it won't vignette? Or does it have a rim that aligns with front of the lens (meaning it would be shifted forward to the front filter - at which point it probably would vignette).

Thanks!
 
The fison will fit on the filter ring, but it can't slide back. Not sure how this setup will vignette. Never tried it myself.
 
I use a Fison [actually a British copy of one] plus filter on a Summar and have never noticed vignetting. It's possible there is some in some circumstances and I've missed it, but so far I've never had a problem I've been able to see.

The Fison has a rim, so it won't slide back.
 
You can't push the Fison any further back but it's worth trying it with the Summar. The degree ofvignetting may be determined by aperture and may not be too bad.
