For those of you who use this lens which lens hood do you use?

Thanks,
 
The 43mm small metal hood that came with the CV Color Skopar P (v1). Stephen still sells it. Makes the lens very compact, and can be used with a matching CV cap.
 
I've got a generic vented, tilted hood with a lens cap on the front. The front has a 52mm thread. Actually I think it's a little too tilted. A straight hood might be as good or better, but I don't have one to compare.
 
Same here. The tilted, "Leica-style", hood is marginally less obtrusive in the VF of an S2, SP, S3/S4 (not sure about earlier models) compared to the vintage Walz or modern reproductions that are straight-sided.

The cheap vented/reverse flare hoods on eBay are under $5. I like the 52mm front filter thread as I use 43-52mm or 48-52mm step-up rings on most of my lenses to standardize their filters.

No problems with vignetting even with a 52mm polarizer on it.
 
That's true. But for some reason or another the aftermarket hood I have threads right on perfectly on my lenses. Maybe they goofed that day and made it with 0.5mm thread pitch.
 
Look around on ebay for older hoods that have the right pitch, I think that's how I found this chrome one years ago

Same here. That's a great hood, especially with the push-on lens cap.
Works on the 50/1.4 Nikkor-S.C, W-Nikkor 35/2.5 in S-mount and 35/1.8 in LTM, CV 35/1.4 and 40/2.4, UC-Hex 35/2 and probably the v1/v2 Summilux 50/1.4.

It does work on the Summilux v2 :) Gives a lot of shade to a 50mm, and stays out of the framelines (except on my IIIG where it intrudes a little). No fenestration needed.

Regarding the pitch, Hoya and B+W filters will screw in - I use these between lens and hood.

I think some are just sloppy, but some are VERY tight. :)

I have a really nice Walz copy (HeavyStar), but it is way too misthreaded pitch-wise. I use it, but not tight.
 
Thanks all...great info. I really like this lens and look forward to really putting it thru it's paces.
 
photomoof--Yes, fenestrated, that too; however, since four or five tornadoes have come through town since I've lived here, one within a block of my house while I was home, I stand by my statement that my hood is vented! ;p :p :D

fenestrated is one of my favorite words. Along with festooned.

The photographer was festooned with Leicas, I noticed all of his cameras had fenestrated lens shades.
