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.

Thank you Dirk! I'll look for that thread! Enjoy LeMans!

I use the 12526 without any modification, fits well but I have to check from time to time if it became tilted ...

Dirk, 12526 and 12524.. (I am trying to find a way to mount it on the 35 Summilux pre without needing a pin. )

its very simple. what you do is stick on both side of the 12524/12526 inner mount ring 2 strips of black electrical tape. it will reduce the diameter of the hood inner ring just slightly, keeping it snug in to place.

this is my configuration, i still maintain the hood mount clips/tabs, but they're actually not neccessary because its so snug. the hood lives permanently on my lux now.

Thank you for the valuable comments, biakalt. I did try it, also with an O-ring and the result was firm enough to not move by light hits. However I am after a solution to enable me to attach and detach it like the 12504 (the engineer in me demands such things )
