Mr Richard:
don't worry
the knurled ring with two red arrows " is part "
of the lens hood.
To get the lens hood off you have to set in line
(swinging the knurled ring) the vertical red line
with the white dot on the hood; then pull the hood
straight off.
It's easier to make it than to explane it.
Let me know......

Oggetto: [Leica] Damn Lens Hood Stuck!
Hello List Members
After years of coveting an M6, I finally purchased
a new M6 TTL with a
f1.4 35mm ASPH lens. The damn lens hood is stuck!
I can't get it off.
According to the instructions you simply depress
the catches on the
sides and pull the hood straight off. How much
force is required to
remove this thing--is any turning or twisting
required? Also, on the
end of the lens there is a knurled ring with two
red arrows on it--I
don't see such a ring in any photos of the lens in
Leica's new catalog.
What is it?
Thanks in advance.
