The previous, metal version (same shape) is more robust. If you like the look of the square hood, use it, (you might have to remove the small alignmnet tabs), but beware that it is less functional than what you have. K64 a bit grainy? What size are you projecting the slides to? carpe lunem A. - -----Original Message----- From: Julio Marcos [mailto:jmarcos@DonJulio.net] Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2000 3:24 AM To: leica Subject: [Leica] Summicron 50 hood I just got a summicron 50, the version before the current one, from Don Chatterton. It looks excellent. The hood is the plastic round one with a couple of holes. I would prefer a squarish, more compact one like the 35 summicron. Is there anything out there? I'm going to try it out tomorrow with some Kodacrome 25, which is also a first for me. I just tried out K64 last week, got some nice people pictures with nice balanced tones, but found out to be a bit grainy for my taste. - -Julio
