You could use the old collapsible 'Barn Door' hood [SOOFM], which is great for slipping in your pocket. Or the ITDOO which is the velvet lined reversible one--You can also use this one on your M Summaron, if you have one. I have both, and the ITDOO won out when i found an old Schneider lens cap that fits over the top of the hood; but the barn door is great for travel.
