Subject: Re: [Leica] Series 6 on Summicron

The lens hood from the 35/1.4 Summilux (late non-asph) part no. 12 504 will
fit on the 35 Summicron and comes apart to hold SERIES 7 FILTERS. It is
still available new from Leica. There is an E39 adapter, part no. 11251, to
hold SERIES 5.5 FILTERS that was supplied with the 90 T-E.
