Subject: [Leica] tele elmarit caps, hoods, etc.

I just got a tele elmarit and need to figure out how to set this lens up the 
way I want it.  It came with a somewhat cheesy rubber hood, and there is no 
way to put a cap on it while the hood is on.  My 35 summicron, with the 
plastic hood, lets me keep the rubber front piece on, and is easily removable 
to shoot.  

I generally will keep this lens mounted on an M3, and would like to keep it 
available with a hood and some kind of cap that can protect the lens in the 
bag.

By the way, the same goes for my 50mm summilux with the metal hood that 
mounts on the camera in reverse, cap attached.

The hood from the 35 clips right on to the 90, and would work fine, but I 
have not seen them sold separately.

Any ideas?
