Subject: [Leica] Lens Hood Discovery for Summitar

I have a Leica Hood 12538 - which is the plastic version of the 12585 hood 
which is primarily the older 50mm Summicron hood.  Well, the 12538 hood has 
little metal "pinchers" which grasp onto the Summicron lens....playing 
around, I tried it on the SUMMITAR lens and find it fits and works perfectly 
!  The pinchers grab the threaded ring of the Summarit and holds more than 
adequately for normal use... it will even mount backwards on the Summitar !
