Lens head is removable for use with 16464 focussing mount on Visoflex II or III. Filter size is E39. Lens hood IUFOO/12575 takes cap 14033 but this mounts to the *rear* of the hood when the hood is *reversed* on the lens for compact storage. Leica did not make a specific cap for the front of the hood.
