To work out the flare issue on the GSN (nice!!! lens otherwise) I got a cheap rubber 55mm screw-in lens hood.

...well, I didn't cross my mind (you can tell I'm SLR man) at the time, but the shade is blocking the rangefinder leaving just a very small portion of the (already dim) yellow patch.


So, what's the solution? What are my options besides carefully picking my shots?
 
Small straight tube variety which are as effective as those stupid funnel shades anyway. I have fallen in love with the one for my new 50 2.8 Elmar and use it on every fifty now. I may get an extra one.

Make one from a filter and sheet brass if you have to. Some skill required.
