I forgot to mention that in a pinch or to REALLY reduce your kit (carry two
lenses, one shade and one 39mm front cap...but let's not go overboard) you
can also use the 12585 on a 50 mm Summicron (at least on mine, which
predates the silly pull-out shade), though I've never tried to reverse mount
it.

Never tried it, but it should as the shade for the latest pre-ash and the
asph are the same except for slightly larger bumps to retain the hood cap on
the asph shade.
