Is apparently in stock used for $15. However I see that he has a different cover in stock as well (shown as 14040). Maybe it changed along the way? Give Tony a call?

I had to replace mine as well when it went missing. My hood is 12589. Adorama agrees with you. Whereas Popflash says the correct cover is 14039, and B&H says that the 14040 is for the Summilux-R. Harrison, I like your suggestion but I think I might try to generalize it a little bit and make a hood cover out of sheet aluminum. I have access to a shop with the right kind of metal bending machines, and a metal one might not fall off so often. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
