I am investigating whether there is another option available as a more efficient hood . The plan would be to leave the original retracted and routinely have another screwed into the filter thread. It is 39mm. I have noted the various tulip shaped, vented models but would like a smaller diameter, with no intrusion into the finder view. Really, I guess like the little parallel sided rigid hood on the Elmar 2.8 50 collapsible. I had one of these very compact lenses but traded it away in support of more exotic Leica glass. Any suggestions would be appreciated Cheers Hoppy
