I have a new 50mm Summicron and a 90mm Tele-Elmarit. The pull-out lenshood on the Summicron is a poor apology for a lenshood that provides little shade or protection. So, I would like to use the 12585 (vented) lenshood on this lens. The question is, can this be made to fit without major surgery to the lens? Could it fit on a filter - I have a Leica UV filter that I use sometimes with the lens - would I have to file grooves in the filter mounting? The other, related, question is that while I have the 12575 lenshood, which fits perfectly on the Tele-Elmarit, I would also like to use it with filters on this lens. Any solutions? Thanks, John - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
