I hate the built-in shades. I let the shade on the lens everytime
and I use it as a front lens protection. I put lenses shade down
in my bag so I don't need caps. Of course I can't do that with my
Elmarit 90 because of this damn sliding shade. Why doesn't Leica
provide a way to lock the shade in open position?

All the best.
