ood for 90mm f/2.8 TE

[fredus]

Hi there,

I'm the new proud owner of the 90mm f/2.8 Tele-Elmarit. It didn't come with a hood and was wondering what kind of hood I would need ... Is there an official hood for this lens that I can find easly ? Or can I use a rubber hood ??

Any advice ?

This list should allow you to correctly identify the version TE that you have an the "proper" hood.

You could of course use an aftermarket hood. That will save you a little (maybe a lot of) money, but hoods for the 39mm are not the most common things. I did buy a rubber collapsible 39mm hood, but I don' t know how well that would do on a TE.

The lens originally came with a collpsible rubber Leitz lens hood. Mine rotted and fell apart after many years of use, but this inexpensive one from B&H will do the trick and keep your T-E wonderfully compact.
