Resurrecting this thread. Decided to exercise an old 5cm 3.5 Red Scale Elmar on the MP240 today while playing with my son in some much needed sunshine.

First try with a Leica, Pan?

It is quite old - 2011 i think. In 2016 it developed a pinhole on the shutter and it makes a grinding noise when advancing the film. It is waiting patiently in the cupboard for me to gather some money and send it to Alan Starkie for a CLA.
Here is one from the last film i shot with it before it developed the pinhole.

Seeing this thread surface again coincides with my receiving of this lenshood in today's mail.
My 1938 50mm f/3.5 is a favorite but it can be a bit touchy where flare is concerned. This hood is fairly tight fit press-on with a seperate rubber retaining ring to hold 39mm filters. The maker says it will fit 35mm Elmars and Summarons but it looks a little small where vignetting might be concerned. It does block a portion of the in-camera finder. He fully admits that no one will mistake it for a genuine Leica hood but it fills a real need for me. It will allow changing the aperture without removing the hood also. See what you think.
