Yes, the lens is recessed, but the hood also protects the filter threads/body at the front of the lens also. It also is easier to fit the Planter's Peanuts Lens hood cap onto. ;-) Gene |---------+--------------------------------------------------------> | | Jerry Lehrer <jerryleh@pacbell.net> | | | Sent by: | | | lug-bounces+grduprey=rockwellcollins.com@leic| | | a-users.org | | | | | | | | | 03/26/2004 03:06 PM | | | Please respond to Leica Users Group | | | | |---------+--------------------------------------------------------> >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> | | cc: | | Subject: Re: [Leica] FS: Tom's new Shades for classic 35 Rangefinder Nikkors | >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gene The Micro Nikkors f3.5 and f2.8 have the lens so far recessed that they don't require a shade, Besides that, a screw-in shade is hard to fall off.
