Jerry,

I just sent John's note off (snipped) to Leica, and you are correct. 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

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.
