Can anyone substantiate that? I'd like to know myself. The current 28mm M lens (46mm thread) has a hood that has a fitting cap. I've recently changed from the type 3 to the current one and this makes a big difference to using the lens. They should have thought of this years ago. Failing getting a hood that takes a cap on the front, a soft elasticated dust cover might be improvised based on the design principles of the shower cap. Sounds terrible but it might actually work.
