Yep, another name for it is the XOOIM hood. Any ideas as to what it stands for?

I love it. It's tiny and the glass is recessed enough that I usually don't bother with a hood. I actually prefer the lens on the M8 and don't use it that much on the M4, although I have started using it more lately. It isn't the sharpest wide open but when stopped down a little it improves a good deal. I got one of the code-able LTM adapters on eBay and painted in the code so it works great on the M8. It's pretty much the M8's "body cap" lens.
I think it's the smallest 28 aside from the much older Summarons or Hektors.

David fixed my classic up last week too, and did a pretty fantastic job.

Everything appears to be in immaculate condition--including The White Album! Is that an original LP sleeve or something else entirely?

Thanks! The album is actually my girlfriends and is original.

Watch that step!
Dirk, I really like that M8.2 BP and the "patina'd" look, it would go so well together with my 2000 LHSA M6 TTL 0.85 BP 🙂
I've heard that the newer Leica paint doesn't hold up as well as the older paints? (but, at least the 2000 era issue Millennium/LHSA M6's have a really high quality paintjob - the quality on mine reminds me of the old M4 BP, but better/harder?) - That M8.2 looks like it's a nice even wear, so that's a good enough, I like seeing the brass through, I think it's going to take me quite a few rolls to get the paint wear started on my LHSA still........... 🙂
MAYBE? the next digital Leica will be a M8.2 BP? - If I can find one that's still under warranty? - I've got like till next April 2012 factory warranty on my regular M8 and then like 4 years Mack warranty on top of that.....I think within the next year, I'll try to accquire something new that's digital and Black Painted! 😀
Enjoy and Happy Shooting!
Tom

Just got my first M a few days ago. It's a bit beat up but I don't mind, the mechanicals seem to be fine. Can't wait to go shooting. Here is a pic with my Jupiter 8.

That's a really nice combo and I'd love to get that lens one day. At the moment, I am using the 35/1.4 pre-asph version.

Welcome … and … how can you NOT shoot them?

Vackert Antti, vackert.
I'm regretting selling the 21/f4, it and the 50/2.5 look very much like your 35. I think the smaller lenses look particularly good on an M.
