I once bought one for that said "fuer Summarit" (the fuer had an umlaut, not an e) on it, but was not apparently made by Leica. I eventually got an original Summarit hood instead, but only when I found one at a bargain price. They are typically over $100. Ridiculous, but their rarity dictates it. The original hoods are very sturdy though, and fit over the outside of the lens so they don't interfere with a filter. - -Patrick
