Analog Preferred
Thanks Gene. I'm looking for something with a flat profile. The ideal hood would be one like what I showed above, but a clamp-on or slip-on version.
jupiter 8 ?

I use hoods on all my lenses. Just looking at my J-8 here and it has a 40.5mm Hoya lens hood that is not vented - nice hood.
My J-8 also has a genuwine Lytkarino Optical Glass medium yellow filter on it. 🙂

There are numerous sellers on ebay who offer metal lens hoods in many diameters for about $5 - $8 each. Two that come to mind off-hand are: OldEnglishChina (OEC) and HeavyStar. More can be found by searching for filters, lens hoods, step-up rings etc.
For my 40.5mm lens I've gotten 40.5 - 49mm step-up rings and that permits me to use 49mm filters and hoods. If 49mm is too large, then go with a 40.5 - 43 or 46 step-up ring and buy the appropriate hoods and filters.
OEC sells a brand called DKE and I've found their tele-hoods to be very nice. The wide-angle hood I bought is much too wide and covers the rangefinder but will work well on an SLR lens of 20mm focal length or greater. I suppose I could slot the hood so that my rangefinder looks through. Another job for my Dremel Tool? Another hood I have is made of a thicker-walled aluminum but is quite nice. None of them cost me over $7.95 plus a couple of dollars shipping. If bought together, shipping is even cheaper.
They don't carry the big names but they work just as well.

my zorki arrived today with the industar 61 ld lens.
i tried my canon push on hood (50/1.9 - 35/3.5) and it fits perfectly. and as a bonus the cutout in the hood lines up perfectly with the vf, the hood just disappears.
can't wait to try it on the kiev/jupiter 8.
