[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I bought one for my 35 'lux based on Nathan and other's recommendation. They do work quite well. The profile is a bit bigger than the Leica one so I bought a replacement cap from Popflash (2nd or 3rd time I lost the cap/hood, but this time I still have the cap) for $25, and this time I taped the hood more securely on the lens, and it works fine even during hiking. I am a fan of builtin- hood, although I do forget to extend them, but I am also a fan of using filters (my 35 'lux would be in pieces by now if two filters did not sacrifice themselves at two different incidents) so your mileage may vary.
