My tech friend said he was getting old, and that indeed you can't reverse the hood. Too bad. I guess you've "called" us on an error. ;-) So how many points does that give you now? Am I ahead, or behind? Are we using football scoring, or soccer? Maybe tennis would be better, and we could say the word LOVE every now and then. ;-) Seriously, though, thanks for the clarification. It's great to have a bunch of old guys around to tell us gals what-for, especially since I'm too young to know better, anyway! That said, the part numbers are correct, regardless of whether the hood can be reversed or not. Henry, are you listening?

Kit Sorry to have to call your (or your technician's) error. That "standard rear lens cap" will not fit the 21mm Super Angulon - -M lenses. Those lenses require the IROOW/14042 cap.
