LUGgers: I have followed the thread on the tele-elmarit rubber lenshood.I 
owned two hoods over the years. After the second one deteriorated(within three
years) I switched to the more classic 135 f4 tele-elmar hood. There was no 
problem in using the 39mm screw in filter and then attaching the collapsed 
rubber hood with the standard lens cap. But eventually the rubber degrades, 
probably facilitated by the fatigue of extending and retracting the hood, and 
replacement is necessary. Hence, the solution lies in acquiring the 135 tele-
elmar or  the identical 90 f2.8 elmarit hood.

While I ussually abstain from endorsing dealers, I would like to bring to the 
user community's attention a NJ Leica specialist and collector:

Jimmy is very knowledgeable on all things Leica. He is very fastidious and all
items are ex++ or better. He is very reasonable in pricing, both buying and 
selling. And if he does not have an item in stock, he can usually get it 
within a few days or weeks. Besides, Leica, he also deals in Contax(German and
Japanese),Nikon,Hasselblad and Rolleiflex.
