I received my Sun Sola 9cm, an alloy version, this last week and I'm wondering what others here are using for lens hoods?
Because the front element is set-back aways, it looks like the barrel is at least partly self-shading but with a 36mm slip-on filter there needs to be some sort of hood in place so what do you recommend?

What I did for my 9cm Elmar may work for your lens: I got an a36 to 39mm thread adapter. It clamps on and I then can use 39mm filters and/or a 39mm threaded hood I got from ebay.
The adapter is Leitz made and was a bit pricey but it gets used on several of my lenses so worth the cost for me.
