Dirk,
Nice shots from your '67 Summilux. I particularly like the selection shot at night. That wanted sign shows off the unique qualities of the pre asph very well!
Keep them coming!
Regards,
Simon
Thanks Simon ;-)
Greg - beautiful legs!
Here is one from a late night shooting some weeks ago:

me: Hey, funny hat! Can I take a picture?
she: Me? Ahh, yes.
me: Cool, let's get over here…
she: [fiddling in her bag] Look, I've got funny glasses as well!
me: [laughing] … click
Dirk - Love it, really nice!
btw I agree about the legs
Cheers, Jurgen
That other hood, what is it?
My pre-Asph came with the standard round hood for the lens but I'm interested in the square hood as that apparently is better in reducing flare.
What Leitz number is it, anybody?
It's the same hood, as the plastic hood for the current 35 Summicron ASPH.
There have been two different Leica numbers assigned to this hood, as it came with different lenses (I think, also the current 28/2.8 ASPH).
#12526
I think, the earlier number assigned was #12525
In any case, you have to remove a small tab on the hood, preventing it from properly seating on the pre ASPH Lux.
There is a lengthy thread somewhere on RFF, describing some neat solutions regarding alternative hoods and filter holders.
