The lens I have is relatively recent, 3.55x.xxx (i errored by typing 35x.xxx)and the lens hood is the small square on that has two tabs that fit in the corresponding cutouts on the lens. I have a leica uv filter that I am going to try on the 35 (I had been using a heliopan). It appears to be a bit thinner when mounted than the heliopan. Could a filter ring make falloff worse when the lens is wide open than when stopped down? (i.e. I know from other past blunders that hoods, filter rings vingnette but I assumed since they were physical obstructions they would cause the same effect in every picture regardless of the settings Thanks Robert >that the lenshood I have for the older >35mm summicron (this is the round metal leica lenshood, marked for 35mm >and 50mm) can't be used with the newer summicron, >Assumed, that the correct number might be 2.35x.xxx (instead of >35x.xxx), and that's a 2/35 Summicron of version 2, I remember a very >slight falloff at f 2.0 also. I never saw it in later versions.
