[Leica] [LEICA} Nikon 500mm f8 Reflex Nikkor longer hood

[Frank Filippone]

A truly fabulous solution..... And no worries about lens diameter nor filter  thread sizes.

And it gives me ideas about a DIY solution if I wanted to take that direction.

The truth is a fold-able ( collapsible) hood is a great idea on its own.
