If you need the last type of hood, I have an unused one (no box) that doesn't fit my lens, as my lens is the second type." Ah, I hadn't realised there were two different versions of the 'two pin' version. Mine's the earlier one that takes 58mm filters. However I've discovered a post of yours http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/v10/msg06180.html that mentions that the 58mm hood was still available in 1999, so I think I'll ask Leica UK how much. I'd never have guessed this thing was 24 years old, it must have sat on a shelf for most of that time, I'd better break the news to it gently that it's going to be working for its living from now on... - -- David Morton dmorton@journalist.co.uk "The more opinions you have, the less you see." -- Wim Wenders. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
