Subject: [Leica] Screw-in lens hoods

I've finally decided to do something about the lack of physical protection
offered by the retractable hoods on some of my M lenses.

Could someone advise on suitable rigid screw-in hoods for the following
lenses:
50 mm Summicron-M no 3679xxx (will the 12550 for the Elmar-M work?)
Noctilux no 3738xxx
75 mm Summilux no 3641xxx

My copy of the handbook lists the 12539 as being suitable for both the 60
mm front 11821 Noctilux up to 3 220 708 and 75 mm Summilux up to 3 223 300.
Is that a clip-on hood? What is the 12544 that is also listed for the 60 mm
front Noctilux?

Thanks,
Malcolm
