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
