I picked it up for $15.50 on Ebay since collectors seem to shun them (for now!). It's smaller than the Leica hood and round (looks like a small version of the Noctilux hood) with nice high quality metal construction. It's much more discreet than the original which, lets face it, should have a guy with a red flag walking in front of it! But not so effective I presume. - -- Stephen Holloway http://www.deepturtle.com/steve/photos
