Lens hood for my 50/2 summicron

[Zaradashte]

Hi everyone,
I found a lens hood on Ebay which is good for -what the seller say- for 50mm/2. But I am not sure if it fits my 50/2 summicron M lens.
Would you please help me if I shoud buy this one?

Any screw on 39mm hood will fit. There are a few "official" Leica hoods for the 50 Summicron. Do a google and you will come up with the model numbers. Somewhere, maybe on Puts site, there is a list of Leica lenses and the "appropriate" hoods that were made for them.

The 12585 lens hood should fit. It's designed to fit on a range of lenses, too, and can be reversed to act as a lens cap with the correct plastic cap on it (14033). It will fit the f2.8 50mm, f3.5 50mm, f2.8 35mm and the f3.5 35mm. It can't be used reversed on a screw mount f3.5 35mm Summaron as the focusing tab gets in the way.

Heavystar, available on eBay and in the real world also, should have what you want. Nick, is there really a town or village in Cambridgeshire from which old Oskar took his name? Or was, say, Middle Slipping named after him as a consequence of your being a member here?

The metal screw in hood for the recently discontinued 50/2.8 Elmar-M works fine as well.

This might just be me, but I have a problem "finding" the aperture ring on my DR when I have the 12585 mounted. I'd like a hood, but will look for another, or maybe pick up the hood for the 50/2.8 Elmar M.

Barnack does really exist and was first known about in Saxon days before the Norman invasion, as Beonica according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. The church of St John the Baptist has a Saxon tower, before the later steeple was added. There is a National Nature Reserve on the north side of the village, Hills and Holes, which was a 2nd and 3rd century Roman quarry that lasted until late medieval times and used for the local stone, Barnack Rag (which was used in the building of Ely and Peterborough cathedrals, amongst others).

I know that somewhere in the books I have about the history of the village there was mention of Oskar Barnack, but I can't find it at the moment. I shall have to have a read and report back.
