I suspect that there are at least two versions. I was offered a 35 summilux
asph some years back and the hood was a fiddly attachment to the lens - no
ring to turn. It even wobbles a little when fitted. I currently have the
latest lens and the hood has a ring which, when turn about 10 degrees, will
securely fasten the hood on the lens.
