1118 is for 85 & 135 Contax lenses. 1119 is for 50mm lenses for Contax. Both are screw-on. 1115 is a slip-on for the same lenses. WES

Thanks, Wes. I just wasn't sure about the 1118, but that's what I was thinking.

Here's a page from the Contax catalog provided by Zeiss with all the numbers..

Thanks, Greg. Would be nice to get them at those prices today.

The 1118 came in the other day, and the 1119 is on it's way. The kit is coming together nicely now.

While it functions well as a hood, the 1119 is almost comically large on the tiny 50s.

Yeah, but I love that rocket exhaust cone look.

Works great on a Contaflex, but on a Contax 50mm lens, I wind up only using the finder to focus, then switch to the shoe-mounted universal finder for clear 50mm framing. Great parallax control too, if my brain is fully engaged and I remember to set it right.

I've got a nice Walz vented hood I normally use if the 1119 doesn't pan out. And a TEWE finder (my 440 has balsam rot).
