Karen,
Leica made a rectangular folding lens hood just for the Summitar. The
Leica designation is SOOPD, and the one for the Summicron (SOOFM) will not
fit. It ataches to the lens with spring-loaded clips which grasp a groove
on the outside of the lens. Really early versions used a clamping ring and
screw. The proper hood has the name "Summitar" engraved on the front when
folded. They show up pretty often on eBay.
Cheers,
Jack
