Hi Charlie, look around for empty plastic bottles/containers (like vitamin containers) that have the required diameter to fit over the Elmar lens rim. Try to find something that will friction-fit, or modify it so it will. Cut off the top, leaving a bit of outwards flare if you want, glue in a plastic retaining ring so the "hood" will fit on only so far if necessary, and paint it flat black.
