Bill,

I taked the 13356 with me in Italy during two weeks, 
last Eastern.
I was a great user of the former 13352 (E39-A42).
Next time, I will take both with me.
(The 13356 with E46 on it)
Because the old one was much faster in use with
its small screw.
And also because, when I want to switch from my
35/2 Asph. to my 90/2,8, it was so bothering.
I had to handle at the same time : 1 camera,
2 lenses, the pol.filter, the 35 lens hood,
2 lens caps, the pol. filter case and sometimes 
2 uv filters from different sizes.
Better to have a table.
Conclusion: very often, I was not courageous enough
to use it.

One solution may be for Leica to sell the adapters with
a cover (slim hood), and for us to buy the same
number of ring with hood, than the number of lens
we have.

Good luck,

Lucien
