Subject: Re: [Leica] Lens hoods for 50mm Summicron-M & 90mm Elmarit-M?

The current 50mm f2.0 has E39 filter mount and the current 90mm f2.8 has a
E46 filter mount so the answer is no. If you used the next to last 50mm f2.0
(same optics but has separate hood) and the thin 90mm f2.8 tele-elmarit you
could use the 50mm hood on both.
