KIEV alert- 40.5 Lens hoods available

[newspaperguy]

After corresponding with Mr. Liu, who eb*ys as HEAVYSTAR

he now has a ventilated metal 40.5mm lens hood/shade
available on the auction site at a buy-it-now $14.88
The 'vents' mean you no longer block out half the viewfinder!

This will fit most rigid mount FSU lenses, and should work fine on

our J-8M & H-103's. No connection, other than as a customer of his.

Yes, FED & Zorki users can avail themselves, too.

Thanks for the heads up. I just grabbed one for my J-8.

Me too! I searched through the 7 pages of listings (lots of useful stuff) and found one more 40.5 vented hood available, and also got a 82mm wide hood. The 40.5 should also work well on the 2.0/40mm M-Rokkor. Good catch, thanks Rick!

Wow, thank you for alerting us to this opportunity. I bought one of the vented 39mm hoods to use on a Summitar with an adapter. It will be a big upgrade at a reasonable price.

ya think a 40.5 hood could be 'pinched' to fit a 40mm size thread?

The other way around, maybe, but a 40.5 filter/hood does not fit a 40mm filter thread lens...

Great! I just bought 2 for my jupiters/industars.

Thanks for the heads up. The 40.5mm size is also for the Neoca IVS rangefinders too.

If you miss out on one auction, just scroll thru the rest or wait a day. The 40.5's seem to sell quite quick, but he always relists with more.

I bought a 40.5 also. I will probably buy a 39mm for leica glass after I see the quality of the 40.5 hood. Thanks for the heads up.
