I assume the appropriate hood is the 12575.....which I gather is 'two tone'. Correct? Is there a 'single tone' (i.e., all black) hood available? I've also seen hoods listed as 12575N. What does the 'N' stand for, if anything? Can the 12575 be carried reversed on a capped lens? Is the 14033 'hood cap' for this purpose? And finally, can the rubber 11250 hood on my 90mm Tele-Elmarit 331xxxx be used on this 135 without causing vignetting? (Not that I'm sure I want to, because this rubber hood always seems to be deforming in my bag.) (I gather the 12575 can also be used on the 90 T.-E.) Thanks to all for your help. - -Bob Baron / Oklahoma City (btw....if someone has a 12575 -- or a 14033 if I need it -- they want to sell, please contact me off-list.)
