I bought one thinking I could use it with my latest style 50 Summicron. WRONG!! Won't fit and Leica tells me the lens cannot be modified economically to use it. BUMMER!! Gene I have no experience with your plastic version though it is a hood that anecdotally many have disliked. The earlier 12585 metal version (same design) works well. It resists the day to day knocks and bumps and big bangs result in a bent hood rather than the hood falling off. The hood is then easily straightened but unlikely to look mint again.
