Subject: [Leica] Re: 12504 & unusual 12585)

Chandos,
The 12504 is the original lens hood for your Summilux (It can also be used
on the Summicron 35).
This hood can be separated into two parts by unscrewing the front and back
parts. A Series 7 filter can now be inserted, and then the parts are put
together again.

This autumn I bought a 12585H (for 35 and 50) that can be pulled apart in
the very same way. I have had many 12585:s, and boy was I amazed when I
discovered that feature on this one. (I have another marked 12585H, and that
one is rigid, just like the others marked 12585).

Has anyone else on the LUG seen this one?

/Hans

Now that I've completely alienated the list, er...introduced myself,
I feel comfortable in asking a question.

I just recd. my used Summilux 35/1.4.  It came with a hood/filter
combo that I've not seen before, part#12504.  It appears that the
filter is an integral part of the hood.  What have I got.  How does
one change/replace the filter?

Many thanks.

In reponse to Lucien's posting of models: isn't the M2-R missing, or
does memory deceive?
