Subject: Re: [Leica] Summicron or Summitar hoods on a Summaron?

Both of the hoods you mention are for a 50mm lens and the Summaron were
either 35mm or 28mm. Definitely the 28mm is out and I would suspect, as it
is a folding rectangular shade that it would vignette even the 35mm. The
Summitar takes an A36 filter and the Summicron takes E39/A42. The 35mm
Summaron was available in A36 (early) or E39. Personally why not get the
correct shade if you have to buy one; and, just try it if you have it
already.
