Leica LTM The Joys of Summar...

[David Hughes]

I've lost the little hood for a Summar that I got from an Ebay seller called something like 'Jack the Hat'. Has anyone got his details? It was an excellent and cheap solution.

Kit that I have lost so far this year includes said lens hood, the Leica 1.25 magnifier for my M, an eyesight correction lens and a shutter release ring from a III. It is still only July...

Hi,

The lens hood was a 34mm screw in and this might be it:-

I bought one years ago but can't find the original paperwork with it.

Regards, David

Over-exposed (bad estimate) and
Over-developed (bad day)...

The FLQOO is the best, then the FOOKH and the FISON. Unfortunately these shades are very expensive at the moment.

I do not recommend the FIKUS. It is top heavy and wil not fit well, keeps falling off all the time.

HU: There's a user FLQOO for sale in the RFF classifieds right now (not by me): http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost-classifieds/showproduct.php/product/47694

Home-made FLQOO: SOOGZ with 12549 screw-in hood (for the 50/2.8 Elmar-M).
Even better than a FLQOO, since you can screw in an E39 filter between adapter and hood, and you can stick a standard A42 push-on cap on the front.

I am on the hunt for a SOOGZ. Thank you for the tip!

For those on a budget, let me share what may be the cheapest option to get a 34mm uv filter + hood for the summar at just US$ 8.95 with free shipping.

I pop the glass off the warming filter and screw on the rim as a hood. The rim is 7mm thick so it works very nicely as a small hood. For me it is enough to keep fingers off the glass and act as a bumper.

Anyone know from experience whether a Summar (pre-war) will safely collapse on an M9?
