which hood for elmar?

[back alley]

the elmar 50/2.8 will soon be in the mail on it's way to the not frozen but warming north.

i'm wondering what hood fits this ltm model?

and of course, if there is a generic (cheap) one available.

anyone know the filter size?

It's cheap to just screw together some filter adapter rings, then if you have to you can keep a case on the camera and snap it shut without any dissassembly.

The original hood is the clip on ITOOY.
It has a chrome ring and black hood part and is difficult to find.
When I sold my elmar 2.8 I offered it to the buyer for a cheap price and he didn't want it!
(it's not for sale, sorry.) The elmar-m hood will work as well.

Joe, here's some pics of the cheap generic from Heavystar on ebay.

I was referring to the Elmar 50/3.5 and not the 50/2.8.

[edited]: as Joe is saying above. There is another Elmar lens hood thread somewhere.

Oh, no... not that hood!? That just sort of figures at this point in the story of that lens.

But it does look nice on the 'cron :angel:
