yeah. I just got an email from them , that they have started production.

I just hope it's a precise fit to my bayonet

The best hood ever made for a 35mm lens with 43mm threads comes with the Konica UC-Hexanon lens. Perhaps you can find one without the lens. If not, buy the whole package. Sell your current lens.

It might look fancy, but the UC hood is just a standard vented lens hood from what I remember.

Finished in black enamel to match the lens. The threaded ring is fixed and the hood rotates so that none of the 4 connecting ribs is visible in the viewfinder. Most importantly, the lens with hood will not flare. Like the 28mm M-Hexanon with a similar hood in 46mm size. I own both lenses with the original hoods. They are far from standard.

Hi all,
I'm trying to find a hood for my Nikkor 35mm f2.5 lens I purchased
a few off ebay and so far one seems to be working out. I purchased two
of the one mention by Jamie Pillers above it's more like a Leica 50mm lens
hood, but check around ebay first I got mine for $5.99 ea.

When I ownd a UC I never broke the hood out due to the size of the thing (I thought it kind of defeated the purpose of having a lens that small). I bought a 43mm round/non-vented hood meant for the original Voightlander 35mm pancake that was MUCH more compact. I never had any issues with flare using the smaller hood on the UC. I will agree that the original UC hood is nice looking though (that being said I wouldn't recommend buying a UC just to get the hood )

Hi,

I was wondering whether these hoods had enough room in them for filters.
