But of course the accessory clip-on hood supplements that capability, and I must say I like it. :-) Art Peterson Alexandria, Virginia -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Yao [mailto:joseph@yao.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 1:09 AM To: Leica User Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Lens hood Henry, The Tri-Elmar (#11625) is not supplied with a lens hood. The hood you require is #12450. This hood can be reversibly mounted when not in use, but the original front cap can longer be used. I use a generic E49 front cap instead. Unless a filter is used, I don't think the use of a hood is as critical as for other lenses, since the front element is quite recessed. E-mail me off list if you require further information.
