Ah, not precisely accurate. The 2.8/90 Tele-Elmarit CAN take the 12575 hood, but it was designed to take a rather neat collapsible rubber hood which also included a retainer for Serie 5.5 filters, and had a special lens cap. 11250 collapsible lens hood 11251 Serie 5.5 adapter ring 11252 lens cap I believe these can still be purchased new from Leica.
