Lens shade for Nikkor 35 1.8

The original is very difficult to find and expensive.

Check out 360260157586@ebay. Works very well for me.
 
Yes, somewhat, because it is a collectors item. You need a hood with a 48mm thread. I would think that is easier to find. Tom A has also made an aftermarket hood.

AFAIK, the 35/1.8 in S-mount comes with both 43mm and 48mm filter threads. The 43mm is for the filter and the 48 is for the hood.

That's why you can't mount the S-mount hood onto the LTM.

Quoting Wes Loder, "The 35mm f1.8 has two sets of threads. The inner takes 43mm. The outer takes 48mm. Since the two sets are at the same plane, you can't screw a 48mm filter on. That is for the sunshade."

You're right of course. Limited extrapolation from my LTM lens that takes 43mm only 🙂
 
The advantage of the screw-mount hood (48mm) is that you can use it for setting apertures. It screws in to the aperture ring and rather than having to grasp the thin aperture ring, you can simply turn it by grabbing the hood.

Is for LTM or S-mount lens? And will it be used on a digital RF with cropped sensor?

The box hood for the LTM version is extremely difficult to find.

If the lens is for an S-mount 35/1.8, then go to Kevin Li's website. there's a few there for sale. But they cost just as much as the lens.

Alternatively, you might want to consider Yama Hoods that Jonmanjiro was recently selling here at RFF.[/quote]

Can you please provide a link to Kevin Li's wbsite, and similarly point me to the posts by Jonmanjiro regarding those Yama hoods?
please and thank you.

Thanks for the link.
I didn't make the connection between the seller's name and the name of his company. If I had, I wouldn't have wasted my time even going there. Nothing this person ever sells is rated less than Excellent with who knows how many + signs after it, and he wants the GNP of small emerging nations for every item.
His pricing is to say the least, what I politely call Optimistic.
I could walk in to my local Machine Shop and have a hood machined for less than he wants.

Kevin has quality items, and charges accordingly. 😉 I have bought a few things from him, he is open to negotiation. But I would never use a real Nikkor hood in the field, they are just too valuable to risk losing.
 
I neither want nor need a "real" Nikon hood. I merely need a hood for a 35mm lens that will fit on the Nikkor 35 1.8, so I can use the lens to take photographs.
And if I can't find one reasonably priced, I'll probably just do what I always do when the real thing doesn't exist, is too expensive or can't be found, and that is to make it myself.

The front element of the Nikkor 3.5cm f1.8 is recessed enough that it doesn't need a hood ... IMO.
 
I just found a nice vintage black metal NOS Japan made 48mm hood on eBay, it's cylindric but short enough not to intrude in my S-mount 35/1.8. I paid $2 for it plus $1.50 for shipping.

Beware : using a 43mm filter + a 43mm hood on the 35/1.8 may get the hood intrude into the lens' FOV. I have brilliantly spoiled nice slides shot at Niagara Falls on last March doing so (because of the mist, I decided to put a protective filter on the lens before I screwed my Hoya 43mm hood on, dumb me).

So, using the 48mm hood and a 43mm filter should work just fine.

Problem is that I am not precisely living within the Falls' area.
 
The only reason I even bother using hood on nikkor lenses is what Tom mentioned: to adjust the aperture. Much easier way to operate the lens.
I never used the hood for the 50/1.4 or 35/1.8.
 
I use a 48-49mm step-up ring and an Olympus hood. I found that the Olympus hood for the Zuiko 28mm f/3.5 is quite close to the shape of the vintage Nikon hood, although I haven't really measured it. Vintage hoods are nice to have, but way too expensive in the case of the 3.5cm f/1.8. In practical shooting situations, my Olympus hood works just as well. I haven't noticed any vignetting, but then I would have to do some test shots with and without the hood to check on issues like vignetting and flare.

I grab the hood to change the aperture, just as Tom A pointed out.

Step-up rings are easy to find from Evilbay sellers like heavystar (no connection to the seller) and Olympus hoods pop up regularly. I think my whole set-up cost me less than 10 USD.

For those interested, the bay has both the 3.5cm f2.5 and f1.8 ltm hoods for auction. I have a f1.8 but cannot justify spending even the starting bid of $250.
