Thanks for the synopsis! I overheard somebody mention that a pre-ASPH 35
summilux, the one with the Series 7 filters in the hood, could fit the current
35 ASPH summicron hood and hence hood cap. Any idea if there is truth to this?
It would be nice to have a hood that capped for my 35 summilux...

Thanks,
