Hood for CV Skopar 35mm f2.5 pancake LTM lens?

[mscott2757]

I'm looking for a hood for this hood and I see that the Voigtlander LH-4N hood is meant for this lens in the m mount version, but I can't find an official one for the LTM version. So I've been look for a generic 43mm screw in vented hood. Will the hood mentioned in http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Metal-4...637?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item541b22e55d work with this lens? I'm unsure because I saw that E43 signifies that it's made for Leica 50mm lenses..which could be a problem?

The original 35mm f2.5 "pancake" really had no hood for it - at least as far as I know. It had a 52mm thread on it. I did make a hood of a kind for it by simply taking 3 old Nikkor filters (colour conversion ones as they are cheap) and removing the glass and 'stacking" them on the front. Maybe not super effective - but it served more as a protector of the front element than anything else. The lens is remarkably flare free anyway - and it has the fastest focus from close focus to infinity of any lens I know.
