It works perfectly well on mine, Mitch---the ASPH hood cap on the pre-ASPH
hood.  But somewhere, some time ago, probably on this list, I remember
someone suggesting that it fits even more tightly and securely on the ASPH
hood, and that the ASPH hood, in turn, will work perfectly well on the
pre-ASPH 35mm Summicron.  Could be.  I suppose that's an option too, but I
cannot make that comparison.  :-)

		The new 35/2 ASPH lens has a rubber cap that slides over the
lenshood. I have the latest pre-ASPH 35/2 and wonder whether the new lens
hood cap will fit over my lens hood. Leica USA does not know because they do
not have any of the old lenses and hoods in stock to try it on.
