I think this may be the hood I use on my pre-ASPH 50 Summilux...

The standard hood is very nice, but it's a bit of a tight fit in the 
bag. I have the reversible hood on my 50 DR,
which turns it in to a nice and compact package.

Feels very solid. No sign of play. There is a healthy click when turned 
and you can feel some resistance
from the spring loaded locking mechanism. Very nice. Reminds me of the 
Noctilux I sold.

Can't wait to shoot this thing.
