[Leica] Question on 50 Summilux.....and the M8 filters

[vick.ko at sympatico.ca (Vick Ko)]

Frank, I took a close look at my 12586 hood. 

The thread that you see at the front of the hood, might not be a 
thread.  Leica used to cut what looked like a thread, into surfaces that 
they wanted to reduce the light reflection from, like the insides of 
hoods and lens tubes.  While it might look like a thread, it may be on a 
steep angle, or not a fully cut depth to be a true thread. 

regards
Vick
