Nothing religious here.

Not a Witness, either.

I am the type of person who likes to see as much through the viewfinder as
possible. I hate looking around the corner of Leica's lens hoods. The lens
hood of the 28 Summicron occupies almost 1/4 of the viewing area within the
viewfinder. I'd rather see my composition than fear my fingers touching the
lens. Flare? I'll use my hand.

I like the idea of taking out the filter glass and using the mount only.
Until Leica slims down their hoods... Thanks.
